I used this program some time ago and thought it was very promising. There were a few niggles with it wich were mentioned in the forums quite a lot at the time, however i notice they are still present.

particularly the way in wich entries in the list of transfers keep changing positon. if u have a considerable number of entries it makes it imposible to select a particular one.

This can be most infuriating especialy as i had two similar files downlaoding and wanted to stop the slower transfer. I cliked on it and selected stop transfer however the list had changed and i ended up stopping the wrong transfer!

this was anoying as it had transfered about 400mb out of 550mb of data already and since then the server has been busy/unavailable etc.

what is the problem here ? why cant the list be ordered on the order the entries were created ?

this seems a similar problem to explorer in windows when looking at a list of files that are being downloaded it can be imposioble to select one of them as the entry last updated is moved to the botom - maybe the same window list object is being used? good old file manager never had this sort of problem lol.

i know u can select to only display types of entries but this does not always help as no mater what you select the list can still change when an entry changes status, and it can change several times a second too. it would help if u could order the list by one of the columns ie filename.

also when trying to select a file for download sometimes a new entry is aded to the list and this might cuase the selection u have made to change to a diferent entry, and u and up adding the wriong file, at one time it ended up downloading two copies of the same file becuase of this.

there seems to be a widespread problem among aplications of inadequate sorting of lists with multiple columns - surely this problem has been solved time and time again - there must be some common code out there that can be re used easily. I know the mfc c++ classes for lists in windows are rather cumbersome to use.
