Maybe the developers could make an option to recompose the parts of the file being downloading, and make it analyzabel for popular Av's like AVG, or Norton i guess, that should help making downloads more relyable and effective, and add an option to the file rating: "Virus!!!"

I think LimeWire should allow you to search by composer. I'm a huge Danny Elfman fan, and want to find things that he's composed.
I could've sworn that there once was a "composer" search field, but it must have been removed, because I can't find it anymore. Please bring it back. Thank you.

I just want an item in the file menu to close the program entirely.
Rename "Close" to "Hide" or "Minimize to Tray" then add the "Exit" and "Exit After Transfers" items.

As of now the only way to actually exit is with the tray menu, which can be annoying.

You can already ignore .HTM/.HTML, .VBS, and .WMV/.ASF filetypes. I want a few more checkboxes, or at least one for those stupid .MOV files. As for the File Recognition system, here's what I had in mind: Limewire has the option to "Lookup File with Bitzi". I was wondering if Limewire could use this as a database for the bitprints of files on the network. This way, you could block the file and not just that host's version of the file. This could help get rid of those annoying spam files that are on millions of different hosts. You block the file, not the host. I'm not sure if something like this has been proposed. I've checked the list, so either it hasn't been proposed or it just hasn't been posted on the list yet. That's all I want for now.

Keyboard shortcut for accessing the Options window on windows. Similar to OSX's ⌘ , although that's rather generic for almost all OSX apps to reach the preferences. Certainly on windows it would save the 2 steps of reaching Options. And also for Linux if it has the same access as windows to get to Prefs.

And consideration of a keyboard shortcut for connecting & disconnecting for all OS's.

Do not restrict uploads (or "Ban Greedy Servants") for files smaller than xx MB.

Do not restrict uploads (or "Ban Greedy Servants") for files in this folder: D:\foldername\allshare.

Ban uploads after a user has received xxxx MB from me within an 8/x hour period."

Also, ability to see Library statistics in on list regardless of shared tree structure while retaining current view ability.

So I was mindlessly staring at a download, like when most of my ideas are born and I had a little thought about what bugs me most: network content.

The plan goes something like this -

Every time a user upgrades Limewire, it searches through the shared folder for files known to be junk and if any are found Limewire alerts the user and gives them a list of the junk files with check boxes next to them. The user can then decide to remove the files or not depending on if they actually want the files.

Like an optional little shared folder check up and spring clean with every upgrade.

I haven't really thought it through properly but thought I'd spit it out before something shiny distracts me..

I have noticed very much junk turning up in limewire. Sometimes lamers add comments to their junk that says "not related to: (your search)." That way their junk turns up in your search. Having filtering that excludes results that have keywords that are in the comments would dramatically reduce this type of junk. I would suggest that filtering the comments would also be an optional feature, so you can choose to filter them or just the main file name.

MANY programs that are available for download are corrupted, mislabeled, or contain trojan virusus and spyware.

Please enable SELECT/DELETE for "Search Types" and downloads

A feature I would really like added is the ability to filter searchs by the minimum and maximum size of search result files. Every other P2P program I have ever used has this ability. I'm just sick of looking for a medium to large size file, and having my search slowed down and cluttered by thousands of tiny ones.
