Making it less cluttered.

I don't really need to know 50 users have FileX I want, but I do want to know FileX has 50 sources. As in A) vs B):

A)

file (+) (50 sources) details (TTH, and anything else relevant)

B)

file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)
file name_________________details (user name, IP, TTH, slots, etc etc)

The (+) would supply the full list, in case anyone needs it. And it would simplify finding the most widely distributed file, which is usually the quickest one to download.

Additionally, the 50+ file names are usually different, so only by sorting by TTH can you figure out what the most popular one is.

Last but not least, I believe clicking one of those 50 links doesn't automatically add the other 49 as sources. If a little coding could allow clicking the "one" link in case a) to automatically add all the others as sources, I believe that would be quite useful as well.
I want your slot.

You would have saved a lot of time if you searched through Bugzilla: http://dcpp.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=319

However, this is DC++. And arne only accepts patches from authors of derived clients if they send the patch to him themselves.

The code was originally BigMuscle's, IIRC. But I think it was said to be horribly hackish, and probably wouldn't get accepted anyway.
