Sure was Elly right, browsing needed a lot of ressources and line of the
server, but many servers upgraded their lines/machines and additionally
the number of OpenNap users decreased.
Disabling Browse was mainly done to keep users privacy. The number of
Bots increased since Ellys posting and i guess you´ll agree to find it
not useful when Bots get your complete Filelist in a second. ;)
