 host distinguish feature
I was thinking about connection issues last night and I came up with two ideas.
The first is a host distinguisher. As it stands, you have a rather generic status report that tells the total hosts you are connected to, file size, etc. What I suggest is an additional feature that tells you how many hosts/files/size you are getting from each connection individually.
This would improve network operation because users could have a better idea of whether or not they were getting a significant number of hosts/files/size through a particular connection. This would also prevent many users from opening many connections to get the same result.
The other idea i had was something that is actually present in the basic gnutella client, an "update" button to give you a (well duh, updated) status of hosts that you are connected to. For instance if one of the hosts you are connected to goes gnutellanet offline, but is still downloading.
