    Well, somebody's gotta make an official windows port for Transmission.

    On my end, running BitTorrent free and expect the same to it. Since BT dev= similar to uT dev.

    Ads-Supported free software is the business norm at the moment. And there is nothing wrong in spending a few secs to look at the ads on free sites and using free tools :)

    cheers ...

    I switched to Tixati!

    Its much faster downloading torrents anyway and not a single ad or toolbar to install

    I just dont like when those adds are also pop ups and redirect you to other links. kinda like on here sometimes, gotta keep hitting skip this add to get back on the page. that pop up on here is to active. and yes I have pop up blocker enabled.
