Gnutella and morpheus had a function that has been dropped that I would like to see reinstated. When a specific file was located on a search, it was possible to view the rest of the files that person was sharing and also possible to instant message them. I realize the current versions that allow downloading from multiple sourses conflict with this old option, but it is worth bringing this back. I often used this function to discover new music--if someone has a song I like they are likely to know music I don't that I will like too. One time I saw I was downloading from someone who was downloading from me and struck up a long conversation, better because we had this obscure musician in common. I really miss this function on the new p2p versions. The chat groups and forums just aren't as focused and interesting, they don't focus in as well on shared interests. |
