Great. Looking forward to the results

While you're at it please fix the search function as well (something Google like)

It would trigger far less spamresults

We need it. Not as much for virus or spam as such, but because some are looking for files of a certain size-range.

Me, I like to look for movies that last longer than 15 seconds to two minutes. That means, generally, I have to check 450 of 500 results off the list before I get to the ones I want. With this filter, I could just look at 50 results and get to what I wanted faster.

And how do you actually train the junk filter to sort out specific sizes? I took all files smaller than 10 MB and marked them junk. Then, I hit the movie of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast about 100 times marking it as Not Junk. The files I had marked had nothing linking it to this file, yet I couldn't learn the filter that the movie wasn't junk.

So, How do you do that? (I know this isn't the place to ask it, nor do I expect answers here. I am just proving a point here, seeing as people say the junk filter works. It doesn't for me, and I really can't figure it out)

Edit: The Iron Maiden movie was about 53MB

Ok, how about adding a "don't stop searching until I cancel" button? I found that if I leave Limewire for a few minutes when I come back it has stopped searching and I have to click "get more results" Maybe in this way when we click on dont stop searching, we would get a "warning" alert when clicking it ststing this may return too many results, or this may freeze you computer, that we have to manually stop the search. What do you think?

Because it would saturate the network with queries & requeries & become slow as heck. I used a program that did that before LW. It could search the entire network (different network) but a single search could take 40-80 mins to complete. Do you really want LW to become like that?

Here's some points worth considering: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...&postcount=126

Default File Size!

I would vote yes ....but?

what prevents the creators of these files from say....doubling the size?

for instance we know a file size of 197.kb is not a song, but if they change the size to 500.kb or 1000.kb. some songs ARE actually short (or small)

i don't know how they make these files, but i assume because they are all small that that's the most productive? prudent? size? but if they ARE filtered out i'm sure they WILL try something else, or something bigger.

as usual, it's not the "product" so much as the "procurer".

i would love to see all bad (s***) files gone from LW, the only way that will happen is if people stop DL that S***!!!!!

we don't need a filter so much as a ban on idiots that share that crap.

the one filter that we really need is a filter to weed out the dumba**es that use LW.

p.s. if the shoe fits, get off LW, and take your s*** with you!
