Why I switched back to 2.2.1

Been using the software for years, and it has always been improving with each new release.

Until 3.0, that is.

I understand the desire to make the software "friendly" for new users, but you were doing well enough before. The UI changes made with version 3 seemed focused upon removing anything informative and replacing useful information with dumbed-down tripe.

I don't need to know the "health" of a torrent. That's ridiculous. Let the torrent sites worry about that.

I need to know how many seeds and peers there are; how fast I'm downloading; how much longer I have to wait; how much I've uploaded, and my ratio.

In short, changing my layout wasn't expected, warranted, or welcomed.

I understand I can edit the displayed columns, but I shouldn't have to.

If this had been the only thing you changed, I would have edited the UI to return it to a more useful state. But I realized that torrents were shutting off almost as fast as they'd start. There was no longer any stability in my transfers. I was better off with the previous version.

Anyway, changing the UI the way you did was rude and inconsiderate. Please don't do that again.

I'll keep using this last good version, until you choose to fix the mess you've made.
