I have a suggestion for a tip, even though I don’t know the answer!
On the search tab, on the bottom there are six different search options
Any type, programs, documents, audio, video, and images.
What file types will each option search for? If I select documents/programs will it find zip files or not? A tip of the day to explain this would be helpful.
Also, it would be nice if there were a way to edit the list of file extensions each option searched for too, or at least a “No Media Files” and “Media Files” option was added. (Media files being Audio, Image, and Video combined…)
***RANT ALERT***
While I’m on the topic of file types does anyone mind if I rant for a little bit? (I apologize to anyone I might offend in advance!)
Why does Limewire by default limit what file types you share? The files I most often search for end in “fig”, “sfc”, “smc”, “gb”, “gbc”, and “gba”. None of which Limewire shares by default… It’s not like you can predict every type of file someone might want to put on the network so why pretend? If you know certain files are bad and people would not want to share them then make a “Do not share files with these extensions” option instead.
Don’t get me wrong on the rant; Limewire is the best P2P software out there.
Cheers,
Jonathan
