I don't see the bad thing in making aMule beautiful. Ok, it has to be useful, and it is, and maybe country flags aren't top priority, and that's ok with me, but why discard this request with words like "we don't want it like it is in Windows"? If that's the case, why you even bothered to write a gui? If aMule is eye-candy, it's easier to use. Sometimes computer guys dont' remember that programs are used even by non-computer guys.

Imho Country flags are just a gimmick and not an 'eye-candy'.

I like a beautiful and functional gui as well, but if you have too many gimmicks or information everything just gets unclear and actually  harder to use. Sure, I might just disable the flags column if I don't want it, but that's not what you've meant with easy-to-use.

wuischke, did you read Mon's posts? He says he uses the flag to figure out better if the video is in his own language. And on eMule I was used to do that as well.

Many people cheat about the filenames, many cheat about the comments. If I want a file in Italian, my native language, and most users are italian, probably it's the file i'm searching for even if filename is [DivX GER] and the comments say "german language"...

I think this would be really helpful... it is already on eMule.

Most of the time i can find out by looking at the available sources,


you only need a block or 2 to preview and see if they speak the desired language.
also handy to see if it's even what it said it was :(

if you do then the best preview player would be mplayer.

country flag for servers would be very usefull, gives you an idea if it may be a honeypot!

i block all servers from 83.xx.xx.xx - they all claim to be porn and then spam the chat function.
damned israeli's! :(

That's what you get for trying to get porn!
