You can make the columns wider by aiming the mouse at the little crack between the "file" and "status" headings on the download page. When you see the mouse pointer turn into a double-arrow thingy, you can left-click and drag the seperator left or right to resize the column.

One other thing I'd like to see re: downloading from a list of sites. Sometimes when you're trying to add mirror sites, you come across the same file, but the filename has been altered so much that Gnotella won't add it to the list of servers. However, you are CERTAIN this is the same file (i.e. one file is 'The_Matrix.mp3' the other is 'Movie score_the matrix.mp3') and both files are the exact same size. I would like to see a 'Force Add' option added to the right-click menu to add the newly discovered mirrors(s) to the original download.

A statistics report for downloads would be nice, too. For example, if a download was mirrored at several sites, Gnotella could keep a temporary list of the number of requests GNotella made to an IP vs the number of times content was actually delivered. This would make it much easier to identify suspicious IPs and to to trim away useless IPs. I would organize the headings by "IP address -- bandwidth reported -- #requests made -- #acknowledgements -- #times content delivered"
