       | request Ive been told that allowing users to select that would be
       | harmful for torrent health. Jeez, dont assume you know my
       | usecase, I can guarantee that even if 50% of users had this
       | enabled, torrents would be just fine. They could even hide the
       | option to remember these two settings somewhere deep, but no...
       | if I want it, I am supposed to build from source. ..

         | torrenting than the QBittorrent developers.

         | work with.

         | what features it's missing. I just remember it _not_ being a
         | power-user application.
         | 
         | It's fine, I guess. QBittorrent is just much more powerful and
         | stable.
