Default some humble requests

-to allow user to prioritize downloads, e.g. to pick ten files that are always attempted to be downloaded first or to be downloaded in parallel from several servers, rather than downloading other files.

-to preview partly downloaded files, I know thats been mentioned before, I know thats tricky with downloads from different sources.

-why does xolox eats up computing power, can't it be limited to something more moderate (e.g. 20% on a 400Mhz CPU), is it really essential for xolox to take more than 80% of CPU time after a few hours of running time.

- auto adjust download and upload limits, mostly I run with 4 instead of the default 3, however, then it often happens that 4 users connect to me and get a meagre 1kb/s download, I think it would be good for all if one would receive 4kb/sec and the others get nothing.

- oh yes, nerds, I would like to be able to see more stats about network performance etc. nothing essential but fun.

- I would like to be able to limit searches to files that have a minimum size.

- please don#t outo close the search tabs, if you are hunting for rare files, it might take many hours before you get a proper hit, but that this is possible is one of my favorits with using xolox. To reduce network congestion one might limit searches to an output of a 1000 files ore something like that, as soon as this limit is reached autoclose would be fine with me.
