Apart from that it is likely 20k Spam entries, I feel that "browse host" - as 
cool as it is - becomes a pain as soon as the remote shares more than a few 
hundred files, because no directories are shown. Most times when you sort by 
name you end up with hundreds of files starting with "01" at the beginning 
and tons of .gif/.ico/.dll crap at the end and in between. Not sorting seems 
to display the contents at random order (guess the order in which they 
arrive).

Out of curiosity, is the fact that no path information is shown in GTKG a 
limitation of:
- the browse host extension,
- GTKG's display,
- the LIME nodes that I usually browse or
- a PEBKAC on my side?
