I was really interested in this. When will the results be announced?

For the web interface:
-Have a way for the host to ‘color-code’ or rank files. So you can tell your friend to download “the yellow highlighted folder”.
-This would also be useful if a user downloads files from you (they would have to log-in, or it would track you by your IP) and then there would be some color indication if the file has been updated since the last time you downloaded it.

Definitely Growl support.

I’d like to see a history of who downloaded my files, from where, and when.

ability to track who is downloading and how many times a file has been downloaded would be extremely useful

As mentioned by others (although I though logging might have been original):
- I’d like to see logs of “who” has downloaded what files.
- Growl Support
- Themes/Styles (although any really interested developer like myself could just make he changes myself)

Hopefully an original idea:
- RSS/Atom Feed for files or a group. For instance if I want to put a podcast into my Papaya directory, I would want my other computers to be able to subscribe to my server and automatically download the new file.

Awsome looking app. Logging who downloaded what when, would be very helpful for my business.

If I win a license, it will be my excuse to finally upgrade to 10.5!

I’m with the few other folks who said some version of user info so I could see who got files and what they downloaded. Cool app.

I’d like to vote for Growl too, please!

Yep, Debian install, which isn’t working but thats another matter……

Limiting the bandwidth used would be helpful. That could be done in effect by limiting number of concurrent or total downloads as well. Just something that would keep the connection from being overloaded is important, I think.

And hey Daniel Greg … what was that you were downloading via Transmission? Surely it was some public domain information?

I think it could use some sort of skin support for the web-view, maybe some css to customize.

Although i dont see any use for this program, i’m always behind firewalls and there are more convenient ways to share files over the internet (p2p or FTP)

Agree about Growl… notification when someone accesses a file would be helpful. Cool app!

The ability to get through NATS.

By: BigJim

Its great that its so simple. One really strange thing though, it puts the wrong external IP in all the addresses! Not the one that whatismyip.com gives me. I can edit the URLs papaya generates but its bizarre.

Second question, I wish people could UPLOAD not just download. I have a friend on a PC that I need to get a file from. So either need UPLOAD folder or a windows or linux version of papaya…

excellent app! to keep the app simple i would just like to see logging where the hoster could track visits/downloads to his/her files/folders.

I was testing the beta version of Papaya and my sharing probs between Mac and Pc dissapear.

I’d like to see the ability to have others upload to Papaya and have it download to your Mac or show up on Papaya.

Aa system of limit bandwith with schedule method like the Transmission

Unfortunately, doesn’t work on campus (they block a lot of ports). What about a workaround for those of us unable to configure our ports, but with access to an FTP server / external upload site?

The design of this application is wonderful. so there is no stress in use.

It is a wonderful application.
Especially, the automatic compression function is good.

I tried because it is very interested.
This application used easily very much and was strong.
This application is necessary for me

How about an automated check to see if your ports are forwarded. Maybe instructions for use with different types of routers for port forwarding?

Great tool! I believe that people before me have already mentioned everything that came to my mind… considering the possible improvements. Hopefully I will be the one to get it. *hint, hint*

I think it would be neat if there were different URL layouts for the user to choose from. In place of the basic, functional drop-down “finder” look, you could pick different colors/fonts/add your own backgrounds and images. Or album artwork.. OR COVERFLOW…Just to kick it up a notch..

I also think Address Book/Mac Mail synchronization would be an awesome feature.. so you could instantly let certain groups/friends/co-workers know that files are ready..

Handy app, Growl would be a nice addition…

By: Conrad

I’d love a feature that generated a temporary user/pass pair for a particular file, and a feature that enabled me to specify that once a file was fully transferred, the file would be removed from the server automatically.

Ichat integration
to be able to select some one on your buddy list
Or your address book for email

I would like the ability to be able to send a notification to a person to download my file. Sort of like the Leopard Screen Share feature where you can ask for permission to control their computer.
