But still the comparison isn't fair IMHO. If there's a BitTorrent client installed by default, most people won't install another one. I haven't tried transmission or gnome-btdownload myself, so I can't (and won't) say whether we should switch or stay as we are, but I just wanted to point out that wasn't a good argument ;) And regarding how many users one application have, I think we shouldn't (only) look at those numbers, but look at which one is better and more integrated (and better maintained and...) and then make a decision on whether it's worth the change or not. I'd really like to know how many installations gnome-btdownload would have if it wasn't installed by default... Take care, Emilio > > > Andrea > > >
