I understand what you mean, but it is still very counter-intuitive. I mean, if I want to enable/disable a feature, then that's configuring the software to me. On top of that, it is IMO *very* awkward having to enable something in the main window of a program so that *only then* its settings will *appear* in the settings window. I mean... having a main window interaction change what's inside the settings window doesn't seem right to me (here it is! no it isn't anymore). > I think the main frustration comes from > the fact that it is a bit different than it used to be therefore it just needs > some time to get addicted to. I believe you mean to get used to. I will disagree with you here. See above. This is not the kind of behaviour that seems right in the first place. The settings window modifying the main UI seems right: settings -> program. The other way around doesn't: program -> settings. All that said, I still find Ktorrent to be an excellent torrent client. Oh, and again: does anybody know of a Ktorrent WebUI skin that's more functional then the ones that are bundled? Thanks!
