I will develop a new Filesharing prog!

Hi Teclis and welcome aboard!

-Of course swarming downloads
-downloading from partial files(like eDonkey)
-more than 1 connection from 1 user(like a download manager)- Blubster2 might have that
-remote queueing so we know how long the line is
-constant searching for more sources(like iMesh and the fasttrack accelerator)

Good basic list, Napho. A little addition:

- ability to search with hash numbers and use hash number hotlinks from a browser (as in ShareReactor/Donkey etc.)

On the more social level some good things to work on:

- permanent verifiable peer identities (so that you know always who you are dealing with)
- a working decentralized hotlist/ignore list system based on the mentioned verifiable peer identities
- easy-to-use personal messaging with logging (so that you can check afterwards what you have been talking with each person)
- even better if you could pass hash number hotlinks in personal messages too ('here's a good track, try this' -> click -> download)
- intelligent leech control so that power users like Dawn (G.R.! ) don't get frustrated

If you still have steam left after the above, a more advanced social feature which would make your application hot:

- a mechanism for group formation and management (to form AudioGalaxy-type dedicated communities with group sends etc.)

Happy coding!
