Default How about this..

How about making resume downloads work. Queing and all the rest will not make that much different if everytime you lose connection or log out etc you have to start downloading again. The forums are screaming for this to work. PLEASE!

I may be taking this comment out of context, and if I am, please forgive me. I take offense to this comment. It is understood that it is cheaper for Europeans to get broadband modems, but on this side of the pond, broadband is anywhere from $40 to $60 in my area, compared to dial up which is $10 to $25. The majority of us would be more than happy to get DSL or cable, but my dad's a contractor and we're unable to afford the luxury of the broadband modem. You choose broadband because it's cheaper for you than dial up, we're on a dial up modem because broadband is outside of our budget.

Default What feature would YOU like?

I am most interested in being able to browse others' computers (a great way of discovering music I never would learn about otherwise). Remote DL queuing and dynamic results sorting would also be nice.

I prefer my own audio/video player software. Nor do I use LimeWire's library feature, as I generally listen to tunes once, then burn them onto a CD to make room for more DLs. My music player sorts files adequately.

Other requests:

I would like to set column widths ONCE in the search window display and have them show up that way in all searches. I know what fields I'm interested in!

Better file naming for Mac users please? Rather than hack off the end of the filename, which usually contains the song title, how about hacking off the beginning?

Question what about ip grouping

What about a (ip grouping) feature for those people who have ten million songs of one artist? You know, to tidy up and compress the search results. There is one already for grouping the same named songs, why not add a feature like that? I think that would be a nifty little addition.

Definitely, (2), being able to see what other files a given host has on their machine. It's a great way to find new stuff that you might enjoy.

Thanks.

Default Feature update

Hi everyone. Just want to update you on the features we're planning for future releases. First of all, resumed downloads should work properly in 2.3.0, which is now in <a href="http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta">beta</a>. (Ok, that's a bugfix, not a feature!)

Of the features listed in the poll, browse host and remote queueing are definitely the most popular. Browse host has already been started and should be done in a release or two. Remote queueing is temporarily...um...queued...while we work on HUGE and HTTP/1.1 download support. We think this will have a bigger impact on downloading performance. And as always, we're tweaking ultrapeers to get better search results.

Thanks for good feedback!

Unreachable IP

I would like to be able to exclude unreachable IP addresses under the Search quaification options section... I periodicaly get a wrath of non-routable IP addresses (IE 10.x.x.x 192.x.x.x). Since I can't get to them there is no reason to display them in the search results window . . . right?

Mouse Wheel
It would be nice to enable the use of a mouse wheel for scrolling.

Endorsement
I have been using Llimewire for a year or so and have tried the leading competing products.... I prefer Limewire... I am a registered 2.2.4 user and the last few releases appear to produce much more reliable results... great product!!!

If you install java Runtime 1.4 , the mouse wheel is supported ...
So what are you complaining for that ?

About the IP's I totally agree .
Those 10. addreses really annoy me .
I can list them following IP so that the stupid addreses are down the list but then I can't sort them by size and such .
