Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I'm in the process of building a 2.5.1 beta based on this feedback, some other stack traces, and some catches by some of the LimeWire open source developers. The new version fixes the missing resource message that is likely disabling the current beta for almost all non-Windows users, unfortunately. It also fixes the problem with browse host always being greyed-out -- somehow the code to dynamically enable/disable it never made it in yesterday.

On the displaying files before they're hashed issue, we've gone back and forth on that a couple of times, even in the code itself. I think we'll keep it this way for now, as it's only an issue the first time LimeWire is started, although we may change it in future.

As far as preverving the position of tables, we actually have an open source developer working on a generalized way to accomplish this task, including turning columns on and off in all tables.

Morpheus UltraPeers -- we've done some statistical analysis of query results coming back from LimeWire UltraPeers in comparison with Morpheus UltraPeers, as we were concerned about precisely the same issue. To our surprise, the Morpheus UltraPeers actually returned more results on average than the LimeWires, although it's always possible that the tested nodes had an atypical network structure as far as the files available. We can run those tests again.

On the duplicate uploads, we'll look into that. It sounds like another client is being sneaky. We'll also look into the issue of maximizing bandwidth when throttling.

The Pro beta is up now, and I'm uploading the free version as we speak.

Thanks again. As always, any feedback on 2.5.1 beta is much appreciated.
