Feature request: magic words to bypass the freeloader filter.

Details: I share a lot of files, and want to give priority to other people who contribute, so I set the freeloader file size very high (like 1000). However, there are some files that I want to share with everyone-- specifically, files with my own band's name in the title. I want these searches to succeed, even if the visitor is a freeloader.

So I want a text box like "freeloading is okay for the following search terms..."

I am willing to pay $50 for this feature.

Thanks for your consideration!

THis brings up another point tho. Shouldn't we have a better way of defining freeloaders? I certainly don't consider myself a freeloader, I have all the spare space on my drive full of shared files of various sorts, and I keep as many upload slots as I can open on my broadband connection. However, because my drive isn't all that large, this amounts to roughly 700 files. A freeloader by your standards. Isn't the allowed upload bandwidth, size of files shared, and other factors ('uptime', perhaps, the duration your client has been open, sharing?) just as important as the raw # of shared files?

I agree, I am currently sharing just over 2000 files but have the ability to still appear to be sharing them but restrict upload slots to 0.

The rating system would have to include a number of factors, some members share large numbers of files but due to either the file names giving no indication of what the contents are or just sharing stuff that no one else wants they would not be making a contribution. One of the stats recorded should be the MB that other users have actually downloaded from the client.

I agree that the term "freeloader" needs to be better defined. I don't have the space for a ton of files, so I only keep quality stuff. My shared files are only complete, quality files. Many of which are hard to find. Perhaps one method would be to filter those who have a whole bunch of files that are all the exact same size and type. Or pehaps require a certain size for certain types. That way you don't have people sharing video files only 1 second long or something. Keep in mind however, that we all have our own idea of a freeloader, and what files we think are worth sharing. For instance, I have some very short, but quite good clips which are under 1M. While not a lot of content, they are still valuable and worth sharing. Anybody blocking this would only be cheating themselves out of some great stuff.
