Hiya..
a while ago there was a "bug" that showed files from your own filelist when searching in HUBs, then the feature was removed as considered a bug propably...
now I would vote for it be be added as a "optional" feature, just add a chekcbox, "search your own filelists".
as this is very usefull when u got few 100 gigabytes... saved me alot of downloads finding out that I had the "thing" already... also its much faster then scanning your harddisk locally in Windows..

Believe it or not, this is the third feature request in three weeks which serves the purpose of preventing the user from downloading a file they already have.
Now, I'm not sure how this one will be taken, but the responses in the past were:
"Lay off of DC for a while, and get to know your files."
"Such a feature would not be useful for a true collector."
etc.
Good Luck.
Hehe.

Nothing prevents you from opening up your own file list and searching for files individually on it. And a Windows Find File... explorer window can similarly work wonders!
