Default Post Download Prossesing

What I would like to see is a way to after launching a file be able to: Mark as junk, Delete, and possably an option to add filename to "Do Not Redownload" list. Unfortunitly if you remove a file from your shared file list Limewire "forgets" that you have already downloaded the file and lists it as ready to download. Adding a "Deleated List" would allow Limewire to tell you which files YOU have found to be junk, and not just what others claim.

Sounds good to me! I agree it would be more than useful if limewire rememberd files that you'd downloaded though have since delete, and the ability to mark these, and place icons in the results panel by the file depending on if the file was good/junk would be nice too.
It would certainly help identify badly named files.

Another thought, I have seen that they are trying to implement a user rating system for files instead of just junk/not junk. I feel this would be of limited help (you would have to trust the avg. opinion), if they would add different buttons for different problems (incompleat/garbled, misnamed/fake, poor quality) instead of just someones opinion it would be very helpfull.

ooh, i like! very nice! i assume you refer to software...

I just rely on the file size. if you get a dozen files or more, but they're all the same size, it is usually a bad file. happens all the time. look for one that is different and choose it. i can't guarantee it'll be save, but the odds are way better.

As far as I understand this post, a system like this could be abused by people who are anti-p2p and is open to abuse. Companies who are paid to disrupt p2p networks already own thousands of computers on the network and it wouldn't be hard for them to rate any good files as anything they liked and have every limewire client on the network judge them as such. The addition of multiple reasons why a file is "bad" would just make this problem worse, as they could vary the reasons used, making it even harder to tell a good file from a spoofed bad file

Idunno, i wouldn't download spoofed or faked files anyway. there is no variation at all; a bad file is "a bad file", no matter what the reason.

So why have a reason that the file is bad?
I just think it would be nice to know when i am downloading a file that is not what it claims to be.

I don't know if you misunderstood what I said, but that's exactly what I meant. I was against the multiple reasons given.. meh, oh well!
