Interface is kinda WAY too simple, but considering that it has I2P and proxy support, I feel like it is going to be a decent project ;)

PT developer has coded the last version's UI in wxwidgets instead of winapi as he prepares for multi-platform support.

I'm fine with a simple interface, and if they add a little more functionality, I think we'll finally have a decent alternative in our hands. All the other clients suck in some way, if only because I'm comparing them with pre-2.0 versions of uTorrent.

Installer is about 4 MB, simple interface. Sounds like uTorrent !!. So far even qBittorrent is not close to uT performance and lightness. Some additional features as was in uT and might be the next utorrent !

Another note, Modding this client requires modding libtorrent then exposes the mod features to the UI.

This client sounds very nice. But before modding, I would prefer to wait for cross-platform support. Nowadays, it no longer makes sense to waste time with Windows-only clients.

And before we think about adding cheating features, we should wait for it to have enough non-cheating features :wtongue:
