* Add a stats tab with some graphs :
19 78 Greg Burri
** A graph of download and upload rate over time
20 69 Greg Burri
** A graph of the number of peer over time
21
** A graph of the sum of available global data over time
22 78 Greg Burri
** A graph of the total download and upload rate over time
23
** Stats are persisted in a file
24 79 Greg Burri
** Data can be exported in csv files
25 78 Greg Burri
** The most uploaded files (this day, this week, total)
26
** The total bytes uploaded and downloaded (this day, this week, total)
27 73 Greg Burri

* The user can set a flag to active bandwidth and CPU limitation. If activated then downloading, uploading and hashing rates will be reduced.
41
** This option is available from the trayicon (Core) or in the settings panel (GUI)
42 1 Greg Burri
** Automatically detect a running game and set the limitation flag.
43 36 Greg Burri
** Automatically detect CPU/bandwidth usage and set limitation flag.
44 57 Greg Burri
** See by an icon next to the peer name in the peer list when a peer has setted the option to reduced the bandwidth.
45 20 olivier morel
* The user can dynamically change the number of _downloader_ in the settings window (1 to 10 for example).
46 23 Greg Burri
** More downloader will increase the global transfer rate but will download more file in the same time thus the files will be available later.
47 15 Greg Burri
* Detect duplicates (files which have the same size, same hash and same name) on the local machine and allow the user to easily remove them. 
48 5 Greg Burri
** [Greg] Compare only the hashes is better because some identical files may have not the same filename. Moreover the size (or the name) is pointless because the hash identify the data.
49 10 Greg Burri
** There is a button somewhere to open a blank browsing window.
50 1 Greg Burri
* The users can add some comments or tags associated to theirs sharing. These comments or tags are displayed in the list of peers (new column ? tooltip ?).
51
** You can switch the peer-list to a tag-list
52
* Virtual folder to aggregate some real folders. For example the virtual folder 'Divx' may merge '/mnt/Divx1', '/mnt/Divx2' and '/home/paul/movies'.
53 57 Greg Burri
* Protect some sharing by a password / user rights for shares.
54 1 Greg Burri
* IPv6 support.
55
* The user can save favorites (a folder in a peer). The favorites are displayed in a panel below the peer list.
56
* The peer list shows by an icon the OS (Linux/MacOSX/Windows)
57
* Identify certain file (like mp3) without theirs metatags. Same mp3s with different id3tag will be considering to have the same content.
58 40 Greg Burri
* The user can create peer groups and drags peer into like a classic IM (pidgin).
59 41 Greg Burri
* Automatic update system under windows and mac osx. Like Firefox.
60
* Try to keep a small core and add a plugin system like Firefox.
61 42 Greg Burri
** Use of qt-script for plugins ?
62 43 Greg Burri
* To have the Windows 7 compatible certification : http://www.readyset7.com/software.aspx :F
63 44 Greg Burri
* Using of "Lucene":http://lucene.apache.org/ for a better searching engine
64 1 Greg Burri
* Create a voting system per peer, you can tell if you like or dislike a peer ('+' or '-'). Then, a good or bad icon will appear next to the nick of each peer in the peer list. If a peer share virus or corrupted files it will be shown as such.
65 92 Greg Burri
* Use "THEX":http://open-content.net/specs/draft-jchapweske-thex-02.html#anchor4 to verify file integrity.
66 1 Greg Burri
* Ability to ban a peer, for example leecher.
67 93 Greg Burri
* Use of the "Tonika":http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~petar/5ttt.org/ network to be able to use Internet to exchange files.
68 57 Greg Burri

71 89 Greg Burri
* Use of a faster malloc (and optimized for multi-threading) lib like "tcmalloc":http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html or "jemalloc":http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/scalable-memory-allocation-using-jemalloc/480222803919.

h4. Searching
74 38 Greg Burri

80 81 Greg Burri
* Private chat (point-to-point).
