Basically, you have a main window where all your currently
seeding/downloading torrents are. You have very simple preferences -
upload speed, max concurrent uploads and just basic connection
settings (IP, port range etc).
You can open a new torrent from the file menu, or from a browser
window. That's really about it - it serves my torrenting needs fine.
Anything else and it gets bloated and confusing.
