It’s a basic UI on top of libtorrent. So it has those features.
It’s very simple and that makes it effective enough for me. All I’ve got is some arch iso files. A fedora and a CentOS file. It starts instantly and connects to 800 DHT nodes, as opposed to Qbittorrent 2-3 seconds and 350 nodes.
I don’t know about private trackers. I don’t have anything I want to pirate.
I don’t see cross platform as a plus for mini sized, simple graphical applications. I see it as an advanced curl.
