Yes, it's perfect for the Gnome Desktop, providing the feeling users are looking for in a bit torrent application, while not complicating things. I've been using uTorrent for this for a good while, because it provides exactly that; a simple, but effective user interface. It's a download application. I don't want one that uses half my system resources either. uTorrent also forced me to install wine, which I'm not really interested in. I'd much rather have a pure and clean system. This is a perfect client for me. Well.. You could say that since Transmission is already in the repositories, it's my own fault for not taking the time to get a proper overview of the applications available before taking the radical step of installing a proprietary Windows application. But people use either software that they already know, or software that's already available. Bit Torrent is important and it deserves some attention. We do need something better than gnome-btdownload and this is by far the best candidate I've seen. Thanks.
