    I guess I just don't really know what feature-rich means in this context but being proprietary, not fully cross platform, and banned on most private trackers seems like huge downsides for power users compared to customization, built in search, and integrated chat.

    I get this chart probably not made for people like me in mind though.

      I personally use tixati, primarily because whatever special sauce they cooked it with let's it run on the trashheap of a computer I use for torrenting when nothing else I've tried does. I'm not in any private trackers, nor do I really have a need to be, and like, not being usable on Mac is entirely irrelevant to everyone not using Mac. I personally don't care if it's proprietary, but that's just down to individual preference.

      I'm not really sure what feature rich means since I don't have a comparison point, but there's a lot of menus with options in them, and I figure they all do stuff someone more dedicated than myself may care about lol.

        It's called coding in VS C++ and using native Windows controls, a dying art form unfortunately. The price is losing cross-platform compatibility.

      Feature-rich

      To be able to set download location, not download into folders, change location based on category, stop seeding after ratio or time, watch a folder for torrent files, delete said files after importing them, minimize to tray.

      Not sure what transmission can and cannot do, but those are some examples of features in this context. Others may have a different opinion.
