Given the community we’re in, majority of us are power users and transmission is just way too feature light for most of us

if the community we’re in puts rtorrent in C tier because it’s “UNIX only” then you and I have a different meaning of “power users”.

Given I was replying to a comment in a totally different context, sure, whatever floats your boat.

Being a power user does not automatically mean you need to use Linux. Not trying to defend any other OS out there, just don’t like this gate keeping attitude.

Being a sports car enthusiast does not automatically mean I hate Lamborghini because I own a Ferrari.

You are totally right, what I mean is you don’t have to use Linux to be a power user, but despise it it’s not a power user attitude.

If you need extra features you use extra programs which are tailored to those features. Unix philosophy.

I’m supposed to use an extra program to download a torrent in sequential order?

Depends why you want it. If you want it to reduce fragmentarion, then just enable fallocate. If you want it to download files in sequence, then XML RPC. If you want file to be downloaded in very inefficient way, then be patient.

CLI controls are the ultimate power user feature :)
