-1 to restricting browse host.
The discussion is not about restricting browse host, it's about giving some people the option to keep people from seeing everything they're sharing.

In the end, the files are still available, it's just about people that want to be... anonymous heroes in front of the common users that use only the main 4 functions of limewire

- search
- browse
- download
- share

Will this stop smart and really interested individuals from browse hosting you in other ways? of course not... but I think it stops 90% of the regular users from browsing what you share, while still letting you share... If you have rare content you want to share... well, then allow browse hosting, this won't affect you in anyway....
