All,
    Furthur v1.5.4 is now available with the following enhancements:
 
1. Fixed host count statistics
2. Added icons to the main tabs
3. More Antelope fixes to free up more Antelope connections
4. Search results will now show the number of available hosts, rather than the total hosts.
5. Added the ability to cancel a download through right-click menu.
6. More chat enhancements and fixes.
7. Added the ability to select a specific save location for a download.  Furthur will prompt you for a save location if you enable it in Download Setup, "Always prompt for save location."
8. Added functionality that will allow Furthur to automatically download future upgrades.  This can be enabled/disabled in the Additional Options Menu.  This will make upgrade deployment much faster and easier, avoiding web site jams by transferring the upgrade through Furthur.
9. Added an option to "Hide results that match existing partials/shares."  This was previously the default.  So if you deselect this option, you can search for shows that you are already sharing or downloading to see host counts.  You won't be able to download a show that is identical to a current partial/share.
10. Added an option to "Automatically choose the best version of downloads".  This was previously the default, and it is highly recommended that you leave this selected.  When Furthur finds defferent versions of the same show on the network, it will display and download the one that exists in the most places on the network.  The only reason to deselect this would be to download multiple sources of the same show.  In other words, if two people posted different recordings of the same show, and you wanted to hear them both, you could deselect this.
11. Posted By will now be automatically populated in a new share.
12. Search window will show details for objects when you select them.
13. Linux browsers should now launch properly.
14. Setlist population will failover to db.etree.org if setlist.com is down or doesn't have the setlist.
 
Note: The "Available Hosts" count may take a day or two to become accurate, since only 1.5.4 clients will send this information.
 
Note: If you prefer to choose a save location for new downloads, select "Always prompt for save location,"  but leave the default save folder the same as it was.  Previous partials will still use this information. 
 
    Thanks for all the feedback!
