would B nice 2 C how many users...

Let's get straight 2 the point. The program works well but I think it would be nice for users 2 C how many users R online... or at least how many files R being shared. I don't think it really matters much who is using who..or what nodes/servers we R connected 2... but I think it is nice 2 C how many users/files we R connected 2.
This can help us make a conscious choice as 2 bother with a certain search or not. If not many users on... could B a waste of time 2 search 4 something at that particular moment.
2 more suggestions & then I will leave the rest 2 others.
Perhaps change the icon sizes 2 a more uniformed smaller look. No need 4 the great colors changes on mouse-overs(lol)... a simpler interface would probably reduce the size of program a bit. (although the images R clearly stretched so the size doesn't matter... but looks do count)
1 great feature lacking in almost all the new peer 2 peer programs... is the show of bitrates 4 mp3s. This was 1 of the best features *cough* the owl/cat *cough* had. Again... it creates the option 4 people 2 download or not 2 download.
Keep up the good work. If U can put at least 2 of my suggestions in... I think U would B the dominating or at least 2nd best peer 2 peer available.
KudOs!

It would be nice to see how many users...

Two more suggestions & then I will leave the rest to others:

•Perhaps change the icon sizes to a more uniformed smaller look. There is no need for the great color changes on mouse-overs.(lol) A simpler interface would probably reduce the size of program a bit. (Although the images are clearly stretched so the size doesn't matter, looks do count.)

•One great feature lacking in almost all the new peer to peer programs is the showing of bitrates for MP3s. This was one of the best features *cough* the owl/cat *cough* had. Again, it creates the option for people to download or not to download.

Keep up the good work. If you put at least two of these suggestions in, I think you would have the dominating (or at least second best) peer to peer client.
KudOs!

Thanks The Seeker

Thanks for correcting/making my previous (unregistered) comment more legible. From now on I will try to post in a more "universal English" written language =)

P.S.
I noticed another user mention the clock on the the bottom left side. I agree that it is just extra clutter not needed in the program. Perhaps showing total bandwidth being used is a better alternative.
*still the program is solid and can only get better (unless you code like micro...never-mind)*
