Default Size Filter Protocol

You said two things recently:
Quote:
1) we could do file size filters, - but since it is currently impossible to add a file-size filter in the gnutella query it is not such a large improvement.

2) The file size filter (obviously) just doesn't have such a high priority, since it will be a lot of work to rewrite the existing filter system to allow for such a filter.
I am not a programmer but there are ways to add a filter, and get around your first objection, without interfering with the LW's programme, e.g. apply filter parameters after your search results are received.

This way you will not have to worry about Gnuttella protocols or complex reprogramming.

Now, to regular users of LW to say that "size filters" are not a high priority beggars belief, like AEternal_Darkness I believe that "size filters" should be the utmost priority, anything else is just window dressing.

So my message is this, stop looking for silly excuses not the implement a long overdue facility that LW users have constantly requested over the past couple of years.
