That's not true. You can decide that when you open the torrent file. However, I feel that all downloads, no matter where they come from, should go in /home/user/Downloads, but that's another issue. > Transmission is also pretty ugly, and don't look good in the rest of the > gnome-theme.

There is a rather significant difference. The version in Hardy has some improvements. I agree, you should be notified when such an application is minimized to tray and you think it's closed. However, that's just a minor bug, which could be fixed in no time. Did you report that bug btw? When Bit Torrent was first conceived and released, it was meant as a way to help webservers reduce their upstream bandwidth usage. That is, it should be similar to a normal download dialog from Internet Explorer. However, that's not the way bit torrent is used anymore. People use bit torrent much more like they would use eMule, Limewire, or any other p2p application. Gnome-btdownload does not reflect this change in behaviour.
