Default Some feature requests

I would like to see a new release soon
------------------------------------------------


Some requests for future Phex releases (hopefully soon):

- Please remove Polar Skulk, it's not using by people (?)

- Always (!!!) prefer Phex-to-Phex and Phex-to-Gtk-Gnutella connections

- Auto-search option (Gtk-Gnutella is having this already) this search option will do an auto-search every hour! (great way to find rare files on the network)

- add some "bad" extensions by default in the search-filter (mov, exe, torrent, zip, rar)

- Integrated chatboxes like FrostWire, Ares, eMule and BitTorrent client Tixati. This will build a real Phex community and Phex clients will be running longer!

- Rating/comment system for Phex users ONLY! They can rate and comment files so that others know these files are good or not...are there more negative then positive ratings, there must be a warning if people want to download this file anyway

- Show bitrates at searches!

- Phex-to-Phex Point system: the longer your Phex is running , the better your upload ratio is and/or the more files you share, the more points your Phex clients will earn and the faster you can download from other Phex users! (like eMule: you give more, you get faster!)

As you can see, some things i would like to see are exclusive for Phex users: chat, rating/comment system, point system.
This is because i like Phex and i really want to see Phex in near future as one of the leading Gnutella clients!
Lot of Gnutella clients are (almost) dead or they quitte the Gnutella network, so Phex really need to grow!

Hopefully some Gnutellaloving developers will join the Phex project soon!

LimeWire used an auto-search for hosts it had either been downloading from or recorded from the search results. It does this every half an hour or so. But this is not a repeat search function per se.

Unless I'm mistaken, MP3Rocket which is a LimeWire4 clone had a rating system. Not used as you propose though. It also had an option to download from youtube with a dedicated window for this purpose.

Bitrates, something I've been requesting for ages for Phex.

I would like to see a file-description tool for Phex to help advertise its shares. Worked very effectively in LimeWire (v.4's was better.)

Definitely like to see the Phex developer population grow.

Started this topic 4 Months ago, no reply from Gregor or Arne-bab... after the "death" of Frostwire and Limewire it was a BIG moment for Phex to step into this empty space. I think Phex is next to Gtk-Gnutella the best Gnutella-only client available. Phex is still downloaded many times a day, but Phex really need a new version for better results and to get in the spotlights again!

I'm using Phex 3.4.2.163, it's a snapshot but works great!

I add some bad extensions to my search-filter and my searches are very very clean! By default there are many many fake-files, this will scare people off! If Phex is having an updated filter, people will stay at Phex!

Is the Phex development still going on? Will there be a new version in future?

Right now my time is too limited to do bigger changes and there are so many thinks that would need to be done.
We need developers who are interested to contribute, but this is also something which is quite hard to find currently.
