I just want them to be able to, whenever they feel like doing so. SH> Also, how hard is it to downloaad 32 files, then tag and download SH> 32 more? Well, it's not that hard. But you'd have to remember (or check) wether you have or have not downloaded the file allready. And you would have to know that you can tag another 32 files after you downloaded the first 32 files. What if you want to download some files, but you just reached the 32 files limit. Then you might decide to untag a file not knowing you can tag some more files after you have downloaded the first 32 files. These are just exmaples of problems that a user may run into. I'm not looking for a utility, I just hope that when(ever) a new version of Maximus is released, it will offer the user the oppurtunity to tag more than just 32 files. SH> Besides, it's kind of a PITA to maintain a tagged file list SH> that long, how do you even remember which files are which, and SH> make sure you haven't tagged any by mistake if you have 90 files SH> tagged? If a user tags a file by mistake, then that is the users problem, but if a user can not tag a file because Maximus is limited, well it's still the users problem ;-) but it's because of Maximus' limitaions. I'm just wondering: why only 32 files?? if some-one want to tag more files, why stop him/her? why is it not a configurable feature, like the number of Kb's?
