There have been a few discussions about auto refreshing the filelist and the challenges associated with that but this one should be EASY.
If I download a file and it completes, that file should be added to my filelist if it was downloaded to a location which is also SHARED.
Simple, right???

If you are downloading a whole game release for example...most of the time it will be split over many RAR's and in more than one directory..if ONE files completes and it ghets shared...you will be kicked for sharing a not completed game ( in this case)...so it's not simple imho

This feature might be optional, so if someone hangs out in the hubs that don't like it, it could be disabled. In the other hubs, this would be welcome.

Exactly. Some hubs are concerned about incomplete game/movie/app/mp3 but most are more concerned with incomplete files.
If each user that completes a file becomes another alternate source for that file things can move around quicker, add multi-segmented downloads to that and bingo! transfer speeds for complete game/movie/app/mp3 go way up...
