Ban ID Files
« on: January 28, 2008, 08:58:57 PM »
Hello, sometimes I downloads files and it's fake I search option for Ban ID of Files, and Ban Name or format of files like ban all .exe...

But can Ban ID, name, format directly in search windows.

I don't think that it could work.
You cannot delete or stop a file on network, so the only way is to create a personal ban list, but it's useless because:
1- only you can use it
2- you have to download the whole file first
3-you know which file is fake and i will not download it again.

If you don't want to download fake, check comments first.

If you want to ban a type of file, simply search by type.

Well, in my opinion a ban list based on file ID could be useful, even with the limitations posted above, when:

- A file is presented with a different name than the one you remember and you can't check the alternative  filenames (because there is not a copy with the other filename actually online or you are using a remote client aMuleGUI or aMuleweb)
- You can't easily look at the file comments (again, mostly when you are working remotely)

And, of course, with the high amount of fakes on the network, is unlikely that someones remember exactly any fake encountered. Often, doing searches in aMuleweb, I ask myself : Have I already downloaded that? Was it a fake? Or the fake was that one with a similar-but-not-exactly-the-same name? (this is worsened by the fact that in aMuleweb you don't have, at the moment, color-coded names for the files you already downloaded)
