i use linuxdc++ in my university campus where people are connected to each other through the lan (100mbps). hence searching for almost anything with a common term (like movie mp3 etc) freezes the gui for quite a long time (4- 6 secs).
the StrongDc windows client doesnt seem to have this problem and keeps on populating the search results page as more and more files are found matching the search term.
Can we do something similar, wherein the searching is done in a different thread, and as more and more results are found its appended to the results page. Sorting can also be tweaked so that it doesnt keep on sorting after every single matching entry is found(maybe after every 5 results or after every 5 secs or somethin), thereby saving precious cpu cycles.
