@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?

Default best name

when you see five files with different names or versions of the same, pick the best on the basis of its name convention if present. once in a while, i will get search results back, and see that someone hase one of my renamed files. we just have to stick to a few if not one convention, and try to fix files we get.

Default My request

I haven't read through the entire thread, so maybe these have already been mentioned:

1. I'd like to be able to turn the popups OFF. These are the boxes that pop up whenever I roll over an item.

2. Ability to change font size of items in a list.

Thanks.

Those are the tooltips, I assume.
The option could be placed in the User-Interface Prefs.

An option to turn on an auto-ban of IP addresses after they serve you a corrupt file would be very helpful

The corruption may occur during the download process (you can experience this even when downloading from a site) so a file may not necessarily corrupt at it's source.
In other words, even if you get a corrupt file from a certain source, it doesn't mean that that soure is serving a corrupt file, so to ban automatically all IP adresses that serve corrupt files you would need a pretty amazing "corrupt-file" criteria thingy.

Default Drap & Drop Problem?

The Drap and Drop support thing is no longer there with the new version of Limewire? (4.2.6) What happened? And also the renaming of files?
Can you put this feature back on please ?

Drag & Drop _within LimeWire_ was removed, as was renaming files, because it was way too problematic. The DnD stuff was homemade and was causing lots of problems, and lots of people were renaming things without meaning to. We weren't able to come up with a feasible solution in time, so the best all around solution was to remove on.

On the plus side, native DnD was added. You can drag files from downloads, the library, of the playlist out to the desktop or a folder or your favorite media app.

Default An ultrapeer ...

Reposting this message on behalf of member:
--------------
At home my computer is a solid and stable ultrapeer, and when I'm at work I'd like my client (being a leaf) to be able to connect to my home machine automatically as one of it's ultrapeers.

It seems to me I used to be able to select certain hosts as prefered ultrapeers but I hadn't taken advantage of it and now that I have good reason too I can no longer find the option. I don't know if I imgained it or if it was removed.
