You can toggle the columns already so thats covered.

The querying stuff should be non optional since that just wastes the
servers (and for you more importantly) your bandwith.

Downloading a file only after you've seen it once is a protection
against broken files. Quiet a lot of files are incomplete in the
donkey network and will most liekly never complete even in month.
Implementing a "force" option is not realy high on my todo list since
I see no point in it. Downloading an incomplete only spreads it around
further without making it more complete.

Anything I forgot?


Before this can go into the CVS the other cores have to be changed to
support age and last_seen, since I changed the overall File_impl type
to include that, so if you use something other than donkey please
compile and fix the errors and add a patch. Its betterif someone does
it that can test it.
