Like I stated before, I want to create a downloadable archive of everything an artist produced. This should be REALLY easy to do if I
knew the code and my IDE better... So I'll throw it up and ask for help.
Overview:
1) Give users the ability to catalogue everything an artist made into a file.
2) Allow users to use catalogues to run on Phex, leave the computer, and come back to have every work an artist made organized.
Small **** I may do later-
3) Allow users to combine two incomlete catalogues, into one more complete catalogue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How I want to go about doing it:
1) Allow users the ability to view/edit/save a catalogue.ctp file.
2) Allow users to specify multiple titles to search for, and a local name once a single one is downloaded.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Theory- Once users start creating catalogues, other users will download these catalogues to get all the art an artist produced. Or all the works of man produced in a certain sector. Maybe you just want all the works of Mozart, or you're just interested in all the compiled media from a television series... Instead of trying to ****ing find every episode individually, you'd be able to download a Ctp file and use it on your version...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My question- I have forte for java because its free... I can make my own new classes, but it won't let me edit the classes already made... Whats up with that...
And another question-

Illustration description
First off- Not shown- Under file
New collection
Open collection
Save collection
Close collection
Its obvious what new/open/save/close controls do, they allow the user control over what collection is being downloaded.
Shown in illustration:
Target file name- The file name it is saved under on the local computer. This helps a person organize their local collection instead of having a ton of different file names... And helps the future by pseudo-standardizing files.
#copies- Defaults to one... The number of different copies of the file you want to get in case one or more is corrupt.
Status- Waiting, Downloading, Completed X out of #copies
One of X files to download-The filename to leech from the gnutella network. Once one of any of these gets downloaded, its saved as the target file name. And its good.

One may think a click and download collection is an unhealthy leech to the Gnutella system.
I say they're retarded... When a person uses the Gnutella system, they would 2x click, and walk away. Idle time in between downloads or when the system is done downloading would default to share, and voila you have more sharing people.
