Here's a thought. Why not set up things so no one is permitted to download unless they allow uploading?

LimeWire is open-source everyone could modify it and put a leech version on his website.

And say what you like... LimeWire requires way too much computer knowledge. There is very little intuiitve about the program, once you get past the interface.
Hit SEARCH... program searches. Sounds pretty simple. Only, that's where it ends. Searches often find nothing or very little.

Yes and there is nothing you as a user could do about it. It's even hard for the developers to improve the situation without breaking compatibility to older clients. - LimeWire 3.0 (which will be released in a few weeks) will hopefully increase gnutella's performance - it's not as if they weren't doing anything at all.

Hit DOWNLOAD... files download. Sounds pretty simple. Only, that's where it ends. We are either disconnected, flipped the dreaded technical bird of REQUERY, or lose the file after a wait of several hours. None of which address the fact we can not often even make a connection.

Requery means that LimeWire is search for exactly the same file you are trying to download. If it's not available, LimeWire won't find it. Gnutella is a dynamic network. Files become available and unavailable again all the time.
