File Types

firstly, I want to say that a new p2p app should share all file types, not just one.

secondly, should be able to filter searches by file type and broad categories of file type.
some p2p clients can filter searches by broad categories of file type (audio, video etc.) which is very handy. But they don't always know every file type for a category and so exclude some (e.g. FT excludes .rm Real Video from the Video category).

also, some types of file can only be found in an "everything/all categories" search, e.g. zip files. And, in FT, you can't fine tune searches in the "everything" category filtering by file size, which can be a real pain.
Maybe have a 'compressed' category? all zip, rar etc. files.

thirdly, should be able to block certain file types. for example, i do not want to download any .vbs or.scr files, so it would be handy just to have add them to a blocklist so they never show up in my search results in the first place.
And the app should NOT hide filetype extensions, no matter what the user's own PC settings are on that.
