Nice, I wish you could limit connections as my router can't handle too many and runs really really really slow.

Argh! Selective downloads window is resizable horizontally only...

This could have save me a ton of time in the last few months...

Too bad it doesn't work yet on that large, influential, private music tracker that I will not name. Tracker replies that it requires version .72 or later, so I'm guessing I'll have to wait for the official release to use it. Sadness.

Also, screw Depthstrike (the tracker umai uses for their Romeo x Juliet fansub releases), they've banned Transmission for life (despite the fixes in announcing) because apparently they thought the devs were snappy? Talk about dorama.

I seem to have been waiting for this for so long. Great news.

Even though it isn't a feature I currently require, it'll be nice to know it's there if I want it Good news all around. Huzzah!
