Hi, Furthur-ers. What's worse is when the info file, due to download prioritization (often by alphanumeric name sorting), isn't one of the first files Furthur transfers. You don't know the full fileset details until that file comes across, and that may not be until Furthur transfers the entire fileset. I submitted a feature request that Furthur always transfer *.txt files and *.md5 files in advance of other file types so that users have a better idea about what's in a fileset regardless of the fields the person sharing the show has completed.
Perhaps a better solution is to have Furthur provide, via the right-click menu in the search window, a pop-up text viewer showing the contents of the info file. This would work best if Furthur also provides a means for the user sharing the show to specify which of the fileset's files is the info file. Thanks for Furthur, John ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Kevin Kachel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Furthur] source info & sharing Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 23:15:58 -0500 I don't know about everyone else, but I think source info should be a required field when entering in a new share. How do I know that gd5-8-77 is a BBD or if ph12-11-97 is a SBD? It's a hassle to start a d/l, look in the text file to see what the source is, then delete the partials if it's not what you want. Anyone else feel this way? kevin _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------ [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] ------------ The Furthur Development List Questions, Comments: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cyberial.com/furthur --------------------------------------------------
