After all this time, and with all the competition, you'd think the official client would be at the very least stable and have the basic features needed for usability. Guess I'll try it again in a few more months.

Bugs:

- SLOW with multiple downloads
- every 24-48 hours it stops working, hogs 100% CPU, and needs to be restarted
- I've NEVER had the program quit cleanly, it always bombs out with error messages when quitting

Major features lacking:

- Why no ability to select different directories for current and completed downloads? If you're downloading a bunch of stuff, it makes it really difficult to figure out what's completed and what's still in progress without bouncing back and forth between BT and finder.
- Why the ability to cap upload speed but not download? On the rare occasions BT actually gets going at a good rate, I want the ability to hold back a little bit of bandwidth for surfing and for my VOIP phone.
- How come it has the ability to autostart the next download when they're ALL finished, but not the ability to control how many it will keep going at once? (Actually, the answer to this is that the BT client can't keep up with more than one download at once, but it's still a majorly lacking feature).
- Why not ability to auto-delete the torrent file when the download is complete? As it stands right now, it's way too much work to clean up after a download finished. First go find which file in the directory is actually finished, and move it out. Then go find the torrent and delete it. Then clear the entry out of BT. All three should be able to be automated.

Can't complain about the price, but I expected a lot better after a year or so of waiting for them to fix bugs / add some usability.
