Who me? lol

You can do pretty much the same thing by manually searching for more sources. OK it's different. But it can have the same effect.

IMHO: Your suggestion sounds good, but I'm not sure what effect it would have on the Gnutella traffic which is why LW has steered away from using techniques that add loads of xtra traffic. Doing so would slow the netwrk down for everybody & also cause traffic problems with UP's & particularly large networks. The idea sounds good but I've never had any experience with those apps you mentioned.
