Thanks for the replies, guys.

I understand the need to reduce bandwidth waste but, really, I hope there is a way to improve the requery. For instance, maybe maintain a copy of the original query and then requery along with a size or file-hash? That way, the only hits would be the same file.

As for blocking requeries, are they labeled as such? They must be else the Ultrapeers couldn't differentiate and block them.

I've been a paying support of LW since day 1 (i'm on my 3rd subscription now) but this loss of functionality is really really pissing me off...
