Hi, it would be irresponsible to implement such a feature as long as Gnutella works as of yet. Such automagic searches would have a huge impact on the network resources. Furthermore, LimeWire has stopped routing searches by urn:sha1 a while ago, which means this feature would be of little use. It is also more likely to get corrupted files or at least to waste bandwith if you search by urn:sha1: as the spammers can send appropriate replies. If the spammer uploads wrong data, the mismatch will of course be detected by a overlap check or at the latest when the final SHA1 check is performed. However, at this time a lot of download bandwidth and time was already wasted.
