New Function For Sharing Allowances

ddwaner · #11 (**permalink**) January 2nd, 2008

I started seeing problems with NEW VERSIONS of Limewire when I set Limewire to "DO NOTHING" in the Limewire Firewall Router advanced setup and I shut the program down and started it back up and it punched itself into the Windows XP Firewall for full Internet access even when I turned the XP firewall UPnP Framework OFF. I tried setting Limewire in the Windows XP firewall to "only selected IP's" and when I start Limewire up it punches itself into FULL INTERNET ACCESS on the firewall.
Sooooo,,,,
I removed Limewire from my XP Pro machine and set up a NT4/500, the old computer runs with just a minimum of hardware and programs that support the use of Limewire (the computer doesn't even have the sound card configured). I don't run Limewire on a computer that accesses my bank account (just doesn't seem like a good Idea).

I have future plans to switch the same computer that is running NT4/500 to a "Free" Linux operating system.

For now... the old NT4/500 will return Browse Host information.

Anyway, basically I get kind of annoyed that I can't browse the host of many uploaders who upload files from me because they don't allow browse host. I would like a function that will block uploads from users who don't allow "Browse Host". I feel kind of like a jerk for this requests because normally I'm easy going type of person. Not completely sure why this annoys me but it does.

I agree. I mean if people are gonna download from us and browse us. We should be able to vise versa

Seems simple enough.

Is it possible for the person who you are downloading from, to know if people are currently downloading their files (does that make sense LOL).

I get soooooooo many interruptions (I presume because the other user has logged off) and it would make it much better if they could wait until the file downloaded or a message to tell them that someone wishes to download one of their files?

Some files are huge so this may take some time but even if it 'saved' as it does now.

I know other users won't care if they switch off midway but i know I personally would leave my machine on until the other person's download was complete.
