I think that LimeWire should be able to pause a download so that the user can resume it another time from where they paused it. Also it would be a good idea if it downloaded off several people at one time to help speed up all downloads

That sounds like quite a challenge for the developers. That is a great idea but until there is a feature to either use the system media players or create a custom integrated mediaplayer, this can wait in my opinion. I'm just being selfish and would rather see the browse remote user feature before this idea gets implemented.

Just my $.02

YES VERY GOOD IDEA,

thats why Limewire has such a feature...

That is great! Now about my issues. LoL. To help speed things up I signed on as an observer to the mediaplayer, gui, and core projects.

Well, smell you! Pretty impressed with yourself, aren't u?

Why not? Contributing to an open source project he as every right to be.

"observer" which technically mean sitting there criticizing and not participating. i'm also an "observer" but just so i can use wincvs to get updates.

I would like to function in a better capacity but I have to earn their trust in my competency and abilities, first. What you use your status for is your own perogrative and I don't see anything wrong with that. I am well on my way now that I finally received their emails authorizing my limited status. I don't plan on lurking just for the latest updates and features. I plan on doing more than "suggesting". I will actually send files or messages with my patches included if need be. My thing is that I am good at figuring things out and I want to share that ability with a program that I like. Sure I could do all my own changes via cvs and maintain my own fork of LimeWire for myself with all the tweaks and features that everyone else desire but only I possess. What type of a person would that make me? That was my original intent when I saw that I could download the source files, but then I came to this thread and another and saw that there was strong a demand for what I believe I can provide or at least help contribute to the absolution of those ends.
That is my say. Look to wincvs for some updates provided by me soon. I currently discovered a bug in the installer for a linux system compiled with gcc3.1 as the primary gnu compiler but I am addressing that now and finding good solid solutions. Intriguing as it is supposed to be a java based system but I guess it is the result of custom made java native threads (jni). These provide the means of how java can write to your harddrive and read from it as well. Laugh at me now, but appreciate me later.

cheers,

No, it doesn't. It means looking through the source code and being able to submit bugs. The latter is very important if you want to create good software. You WILL need people to test it before it is released. But that's not all you do as an observer. You can also submit patches, help with translations, documentations, etc pp. Saying an observer would be just sitting there citicizing is very silly. Apropos silly, cvs.limewire.org has a guest account, you don't have to become an "observer" to get it. It's available to the public. - That's why it's called open-source, you know...

Well, smell you! Pretty impressed with yourself, aren't u? [/B][/QUOTE]

Not really smug but excited to do rather than suggest or keep to myself. I have alot of things going on my system that isn't posted anywhere on the net but needs to be. I am currently putting that project into the near distant future after I achieve a few things right now. Like actually having Microteck ScanMaker 4800 working and running on my system (There is no support posted on this yet), Getting an Orange iBot Firewire webcam configured and installed on linux (there is no procedure on how to do this), Using secure shell to forward live dvd movie broadcasts across a broadband connection to another remote location (also with broadband as I haven't tested it with anything else, yet). Setting up a heterogenous lan environment of ipmasquearaded and vpn support. Am I still thought of as being smug to you now or selfish? Do any of the above invoke disgust or are you cool with that? I put in crazy man hours (maximumtime) to achieve the above. Should I still share?

That is all I have to say. Thank you for your time and patience in reading my rebuttal
