An option to turn on an auto-ban of IP addresses after they serve you a corrupt file would be very helpful

[murasame]

The corruption may occur during the download process (you can experience this even when downloading from a site) so a file may not necessarily corrupt at it's source.
In other words, even if you get a corrupt file from a certain source, it doesn't mean that that soure is serving a corrupt file, so to ban automatically all IP adresses that serve corrupt files you would need a pretty amazing "corrupt-file" criteria thingy.

The Drap and Drop support thing is no longer there with the new version of Limewire? (4.2.6) What happened? And also the renaming of files?
Can you put this feature back on please ?

[sberlin]

Drag & Drop _within LimeWire_ was removed, as was renaming files, because it was way too problematic. The DnD stuff was homemade and was causing lots of problems, and lots of people were renaming things without meaning to. We weren't able to come up with a feasible solution in time, so the best all around solution was to remove on.

On the plus side, native DnD was added. You can drag files from downloads, the library, of the playlist out to the desktop or a folder or your favorite media app.

At home my computer is a solid and stable ultrapeer, and when I'm at work I'd like my client (being a leaf) to be able to connect to my home machine automatically as one of it's ultrapeers.

It seems to me I used to be able to select certain hosts as prefered ultrapeers but I hadn't taken advantage of it and now that I have good reason too I can no longer find the option. I don't know if I imgained it or if it was removed.

Don't know if this has been discussed, and my thread for this is currently one below this sticky but:

"find more sources for download" right-click capabilitie just like how Kazaa has it. It works amazing and the downloads are so much faster than Limewire, I ditched Kazaa and K-Lite do to the amount of lag and crap and memory usage it used on my computer. If Limewire had the "find more sources for download" right click option, then I think LimeWire can most of the "slow download" complaints.

think about it.

thanks.

not really something needed, just something i would like to have. but i'd like to be able to keep the total number of hits one of my files has. instead of it going back to 0 when you exit.

I would like it if the "download" directory were not automatically added to the "shared" directories list. That way I can inspect downloaded files before releasing them further into the network. This would also help keep fakes, corrupts and virusses out of the network.

The forced sharing is what can keep the network running. Else most people will just download, but only share while downloading and afterwards the file will vanish.

Even though I use Acquisition, which doesn't share my download folder at once, this is only, because my share is ful enough, that I normally have my upload speed maxed out at 80% of the time, but with the files, which I want to spread.

It is a setting for all those, who just want to get their files. If you don't want to share at once after downloading, you have to remove the files manually from that folder, which means: Behaviour, which doesn't aid the network is more work than behaviour, which helps it, which is exactly the right way to do it. And besiders: Through Partial File Sharing you contribute to a file even while you're downloading.

Ah, didn't notice the sticky, but...

The player needs a fast forward and a rewind button. Otherwise, it's great.

seperate the dowloads section from the search results section

I'd like to be able to prioritize queued downloads, so that the next time a download slot becomes available, I have control over which file LW tries to download next.

Taken from a Tip of the Day
You can tell LimeWire which downloads to start next. Right-click on the column headers in the download area and check the 'Priority' column. Select the download you want to start next and click the up arrow until it's at the top!

LWPro: There are soooo many garbage files/ decoys/ viruses in the system. I used to be able to choose NOT to share partially downloaded files (so I could check 'em out first).

I want that option back so I'm not eating up bandwidth spreading unwanted GARBAGE
