It'd be great if the following could be added:
- descript.ion files like NewsLeecher has, they can come in handy when you want to figure out what some files are becuse the filenames say nothing
- when a part isn't found, ADD a thread to another server, and close it when it's done, in stead of using an already existing thread to switch to another server (for example, i have a fast server, and a 50kb/s [er thread backup server, if a file misses a lot of parts, speed will drop to 150kb/s (3 threads) instead of maxing out. If threads were to be added, i could continue downloading at full speed, but just with an extra connection). Also there are people that use free 15kb/s server as backup, in Alt.Binz, this can STOP your download until the server allows a connection for you.
- Download the par2 files that era really needed instead of downloading them in order; i just had a file missing 2 blocks, then i saw alt.binz downloading a 1 block par2 file, and then a 2 block, where it'd be better to just take the 2 blocks alone. In extreme cases, this may cost you like 50MB of useless bandwidth.
- Option to add small files to the beginning of the list. (Best would be to add them to the beginning of their "section", the thing with the + before it, so small files would come exactly undet that).
- Extended server priorities; If server 1 doesn't have it, use server 2, if 2 doesn't have it use 3, if 3 doesn't have it... etc.
The best thing you can reach now is set all your backup server under your main server, and this usually isn't the optimal setup.
- There's a bug that sometimes files aren't being decoded (they're just sitting in de download queue saying "Decoding". If you then close Alt.Binz and restart it, your entire queue is gone
