lol a whole new torrent client?:noes::lol:

Yeah I thought it was terribly strange that they would make a whole knew client.
I said "wut?" :P

Well, I'm not a member of GFT, so I can't compare the two. But I do like it a lot more than FTN. There's a lot of great content on the site.

i think he just got confused, its just a different way of getting the torrent files delivered to the torrent client (via VPN) or so it seems by looking at what has been said.

Thanks for the Pretome recommendation, btw. I just joined and it's looking really good so far.

That's probably what happened. It would've confused me too had it not been elaborated on a bit here.

Different way of interpreting things. Someone techy would have gotten it, others might have got it mixed up (torrents=music/movies/packs for not so tech savvy people). Which points to a fact, it is great to have diversity in terms of the userbase on trackers to make things interesting in aspects associated to a tracker other than the browse page.
Anyway, the announcement was later elaborated upon and discussed on the forums and IRC. It helps if you idle at a few places that dont give you IRC Idling Bonus :lol:

As Brandon said in IRC, its much more than a torrent client. It will eliminate the need of a website for torrent downloading. You can use the software to do all your torrenting. He didn't give out a lot of info though, because he just started working on it (i.e. about 5 days ago).

Edit: FTN Torrent Downloader (of which a testing version has been released) is a totally different piece of software. I am talking about something different here.
