An option to search for a certain keyword, and to download every file, which I don't already have (which isn't greyed out). This would allow getting new trailers, filk-songs, and whatever you can think of automatically.

A menu item "Get unknown files for keyword" (maybe also "get unknown music from iTunes Artist" etc.) would be useful, I think.

But as limitation, it should then request a keyword and a cathegory, so we can avoid people downloading a hell of a lot of fake-files, and "get unkown songs from current artist" should only download music-files.

I have to be persistent for a request I put in some time back. But it echoes in my brain. xtra search option size criteria settings which I suspect has a number of benefits other than the obvious. A size critereon. What's wrong with it? Benefits Versus Negative effects on the Gnutella network? I guess it depends how you go about designing it.

This was already pointed out by someone else, but I'm still seeing my own files when I search.

Blah, Blah, Blah......

All this talk about computer jargon is makin my head hurt. I learned a term when I was in the Marines....it's called K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid). There was only one guy on here that I thought exhibited that philosophy. Congratulations to him. What I would really like, and I hope this doesn't get edited, is for all movie clips, music video clips, and porn clips to have THE EXACT TITLE SOMEWHERE ON THE FILE!!!!! I'm sick and tired of watching something and wanting to buy it, but can't cause I have no clue where it came from. In the bigger scheme of things this file sharing is for testing media for REAL purchase. I think this is an injustice. And YES, it's mostly about the porn clips. Darn it!

@massillonmarine: Then download clips, add metadata (you can do so in library using the comment-button) and share them.

Once again, here's another thing I learned. Barney Style. Could you please break that down in terms that Barney could teach it to a pre-schooler. Thanks.

massillonmarine, unfortunatelly, there's nothing much you can do aside from re-naming your own files "right" (= with the exact title, without adding stuff like: "plz share" and other crap of the sort). The reason for that is that the files are not provided by Limewire itself.
It's like TV: there are several channels and you can watch any show those channels air at this and that time. However, it's not the TV (=the machine) itself that contains the shows, but the channels who "send" the shows to it.
In this (pathetic) example, the TV is the program (Limewire) and the channel companies are the users all over the world: you can see (=download) whatever shows (=files) they offer.
Coming back to the problem at hand, the consequence of all this crap below is that if 100 users share the same file, all of them would have to rename that file to the correct "title" so that all of the copies of the files that appear in your searches are correctly named.

Confused?

Hmm.

Let's say that you see a file named X.

Good.

You download the file X from the 100 available sources and discover that its true name is actually Z.

Cool.

You rename the file to Z.


Consequence: if I search for file Z, I will see one copy of that file (that you have) and if I search for X, 99 copies will pop-up.

In other words, for all Z files to show up as Z in my search, all the people that have that file have to rename it to Z.

Now, you can start by renaming your own file and sharing that.
You can also try (very very troublesome) chatting with everyone that shares the file X and asking them to rename it to Z...

I understand completely. Thanks. I don't know the exact procedures for posting a file, but I would hope that there is the best possible information on the file uploaded. Does anyone know how we could verify or something the file to get the exact title on there the first time? I know this is similar to asking you to pull a rabbit out of your orifice, but it's worth askin to me.

@Murasame: Not quite. If one file is named correctly, and all others have the same hash, LimeWire wil use the correct name, but download from all 100 Users who have the file, also from those with misnamed ones.

Yeah, but the thing is that even if there is one file named correctly and it is grouped together with the other 99 files (still in the previous example) in the search results, that means that I still will see the wrong filename. It's just that somewhere in the group of 100 there is one file that is named correctly, right?
