Plus might claim it has more options but I found it really slow and useless, a lot of the configuration tabs grayed out and unuseable.
I've gone back to 28a and it works quite well with my 2mb connection configured as DSL 1600 / 90 and preferences set to 100% uploads/ unlimited downloads, Throttled by Netlimiter instead. When the sources drop off, I throttle back to maintain a 3/1 download/upload ratio. When I find sources, I throttle back up to about 80% of my upload speed.
