I understood your point perfectly and I wish that I could put up a warning that I was switching off in five minutes. I have no idea how it could be done as it would be in conjunction with the chat feature and that is hugely less than perfect for about 101% of users.

It's a great idea and you should put it into the Feature Requests forum, after checking that someone has not lready done so. Limewire do consider all suggestions posted there.

I can usually tell if the host I am uploading from has done so gracefully. He/She will not switch off when the file is 90% complete!
