Question Any way to browse other user's libraries

Quick question... once in a while I connect to someone and the files transfer very quickly. I was wondering if there is any way to see what other files that person may have. Since I have experienced a fast download from them, I might as well see what what else they have, right? Is there any way to see what else a particular user has?

Thanks...

Select the IP address in the download window, after connecting. Then select Browse Host in toolbar directly above the download window. This is not allways an option, as some browse host requests are unavailable.

Question

So how do you browse a host for an IP that you know, but don't have a current connection to it? For example, I have a friend in LA whose has some great stuff to share, but I never see it in my searches. I'd like to go to it directly.

Along those lines, when I'm looking for a non-US music artist, like Rebekah Ryan, I never get any hits. I'd like to hook up to an Ultrapeer in the UK and do my search. Is this possible yet? If not with Limewire, is there some other client with these features?

TIA

Great question!!!.... anyone know if LW can do this? Forgive me if I've missed this in a prior post.

earlier versions of LW allowed you to select "regions" (like australia, uk, north america etc) which was intended (I'm guessing at least) to let you connect into particular parts of the world - I do recall reading Kath saying she found it useful for scoring hard to get files but I never personally found it did anything that I noticed at all

its always seemed to me that 'where' I was mostly connected (as judged by what comes up in search results) depended upon the time of day and what that meant in terms of time zones elsewhere
