1. Sounds like a good idea!!!

2. From what I've read, it's far too difficult to determine who is & who isn't a freeloader. It uses up a lot of resources. Nice concept all the same. For me, the filter does at least seem to work, even if the slider doesn't work.

3. Sharing other networks is a argumentative point. Once people or programs start utilising other networks then one or both of the networks suffer. ie: the bandwidth must be shared between both. Shareaza is a typical example of how it doesn't work very well. So many Gnut 1 users complain Raza users are unreliable to upload from ... very slow speeds & unreliable to connect to. That's because they connect to multiple networks. At least one of which requires they can only downld as fast as they upload. Get my point! Always one of the networks gets sacrificed. What I'd like to see, & also for Raza is that only one network can be connected to/accessed at one time. That would solve this big issue.

4. A size filter ... yep I've asked for it. The next best thing is the spam filter. See answer in point #6.

5. I also don't like nag messages. Even using Pro you get nag messages about updates. The previous setting was to have a popup "only" at LW startup. I believe LW should revert back to this setting for both updates & upgrades to pro. I do recognise the concept that updates should be made well aware of so the gnutella network keeps up to date without having people on much older versions which are damaging to the network without realising it. But ... a little more user friendly technique perhaps. Nobody likes being nagged. hehehe

6. Have you tried using the spam filter yet. It's a dynamic learning filter so it will learn bit by bit by what you decide is spam. Autogenerated spam results are the easiest for the spam filter to chop out.

BTW the force resume hasn't disappeared. It's now in a keyboard shortcut. For win users, right-click the file (such as from the library window/incomplete folder.) For mac of course that's option-click. For files in the main downld window .. Resume is approx. the same thing. Well similar.
