I think there should be a rating system, comments (reviews) and perhaps a count
of how many times the file was downloaded. Most of the time, I have no idea what
I'm getting myself into when I'm downloading something from the archive.

Perhaps there could also be some sort of status and type indicators. For
example, is it a library, demo, documentation, modified interpretor, application?
Has someone actually *verified* that it runs on whatever platforms? What
dependencies does it have? Is it unfinished code, released in the hope that
someone might be able to finish and use it? A beta version? Compiled? Thoroughly
tested? Well-documented?

Just "food for thought".
