Impossible. I scan religiously with both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. Plus, I haven't installed anything in the last 48 hours and I didn't get a popup block notification then when browsing your site.

I have Limewire PRO 4.8.1 and theres this annoying problem that happens randomly. Like if i play a song, about 5 seconds in the song stops. Could u maybe fix this glitch.

I can understand if you cannot fix this but is there a slight change of you to have a AntiVirus scanner to scan the whole network (which I know is a LOT!!!) or maybe part of it and automatically delete infected files. This would be a BIG plus but I can understand if this is too much.

They definitely can't scan for and delete files on any criterion. If they could, they'd be forced to use it on mp3s by the RIAA and such, and the network would generally be susceptible to coercive censorship, something it was designed to resist.

OTOH, they could make file Bitzi ratings, or detected virus signatures, or similar information visible in the UI in the search results and let users decide whether or not to download the file...

Is it possible for limewire to search for sources while downloading?
It really annoying that it cant do this, as it says "Awaiting Sources" and i know that there are plently of sources still....

We could but then we would overload the network with searches and no search by the user would ever work. Message traffic from all the searches would be exponential based on the number of users.

Thus, we require users to take action if they want to generate a search. If you do search then you will pick up new sources.

Automated queries or requeries have and would again blow up the network. Nice in theory. Very bad in practice.

Ah i see. Well thank you for your quick reply :-)

Thanks very much.

- Option for the maximum simultaneous transfers of a single file, preventing a file from taking all upload slots.

- Reorganize preferences: No more firewall option, rename port to firewall, the search option (limit, speed, quality) removed, no more compression option, no more out of band option.

- New system of requeries [not going to happen any time soon]

- A file rating system, allowing users to collectively rate fake/garbage/good/excellent files.

- Browse clients other than LimeWire from upload window

- Allow browsing firewalled hosts

- Use NIO to take up less resources/RAM

- Client side queueing of multiple requests to a single source

- Remember advanced stats checkbox between launches

- Remember preferred sort order between launches

- Ability to clear existing sort on a table.

- Explore button on download page

- A private folder accessable only by trusted users

- Allow certain files/folders to get preferred status in upload slots

- An option to connect to fewer ultrapeers when acting as a leaf

- A mailto button for formatting & sending magnet links

- Multiple download folders for different types of downloads

- Sharing of portions of iTunes selections by choosing a playlist

- An edit menu (and ability to copy/select any displayed text)

- Ability to send download filename in search box.

- A mini LimeWire to handle magnets

- A window menu to bring chat/options/stats/main window to the foreground

- Browse host to display results with directory structure like in the library

- Drag & Drop support

- Monitor pane moved

- Bandwidth status displayed in the GUI at all times.

- Searching for phrases together, using "LimeWire Rocks" and finding only results where LimeWire Rocks, instead of limewire on the rocks.

- Seekable media player.

- Symbol next to the 'X' on search tabs to show the context menu.

- Re search for corrupt files automatically. (Should be taken care of already with TigerTree support, actually.)

- Recently searched drop down box.

In addition to the following request:

- Browse host to display results with directory structure like in the library

I'd like to see directory/folder as one of the search items (in addition to images, music, documents, etc).

Further, some additional advanced search capabilities such as:

- max and min file size
- max number of words in a filename
- exclude words.

In fact just implement BearShare's search filtering capabilities..

This would greatly help filter out all the spam crap.
