At least check if features exist before you start suggesting them... why don't you just use the build in downloader?

These suggestions = Intelligent Lazy person looking out for Stupid Lazy Person...

suggester solution... you could make a firefox plug-in to associate sd7 files with the correct TASpring sub-folders...

buddy list could just be another filtering option, and you could right click and mark as buddy... then the name could show up in a different color... change filter options to only show marked names... also let you right click and block people from PMing you and their names will show up in red...

FileUniverse, not fileplummet ;)

You could just use the "More Maps" downloader in the TASClient.exe program. It downloads the maps directly to your maps folder.

I think its because it popups a new window saying download complete, only it sometimes seems to be a "popunder" so you will have to move around the other windows to find it (and the other windows doesnt respond until you have clicked ok in it).

You can delete them and any other markers you place by holding "`" (Tilder Key), and right clicking on the marker.

A buddy list would be good.

The windows all disabling themselfs is a bit annoying. And if it causes errors like that, then it definatley needs to be fixed!
