I think you put too much importance on connect/disconnect. At least for a DSL user, these are completely useless. I never disconnect unless I exit the program. I think I disabled the tool bar in the current program. One thing that was nice in older versions was that typing in a search did not bring forward the search pane. I like to cut and paste the SHA values from the download screen to the search box. It seems that my downloads complete much faster if I do this. The point for you might be that sometimes the disparate activities inter-relate. The main functions for user would normally be searching and monitoring download progress. I think those are the "high use" areas of the application. The upload and GNET panes are useful, but currently they only provide information. Ie, the user doesn't really input anything there. I guess the "preferences" and "filter" screens are not often used, but very important gui functions [with lots of user interaction]. You might like to concentrate some efforts on polishing these screens. I think it is pretty easy to make nice looking screens. The trick is to make them function well. That is a pretty tough job. Good luck, Bill Pringlemeir. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
