Hi guys.. It just come tru my mind that you should add this feature to emule.. to improve a bit not only the emule client but the whole ed2k network (well since other clients use this tip as well)..

It would be ability to exclude a file from being shared.

Why that and how it could improve something?

Imagine the Album Arts from your MP3 directory.... the Windows Media Player tries to download it everytime you play a song.. and saves on the directory (specially when the directory is from a CD). So after you share all your mp3's you will also have your albumart's shared.

Coming to the point that some servers limit the files you can share, and these album arts are useless shares, it would be great if you could for example, exclude them from sharing, reducing server usage (less files shared from the clients), emule memory & cpu usage....

Someone will still say its useless.. but imagine 10 clients.. each one sharing 10 albums... that would be at least 200 useless .jpg spread on the network using server memory and why not emule memory too.... now, come and try to imagine some real numbers from emule servers

I Like it, but this is too much work for most users. Filter by extensions is be better fitted for this, IMO.

I agree, when you share only mp3s you could be able to exclude images (like album art's jpegs)... at least for the advanced user this feature would be really good and would improve overall resource usage
