 SH> How often would you want people D/Ling 32 files at one time? 
All the time,  I don't mind. I just want them to be able to, whenever they 
feel like doing so.

 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.

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?
