Infact i do, which is why most of the stuff on the list won't be
implemented in the near future. I'm currently focusing on the library to
fix some embarrasing shortcomings. (To me atleast, i gotta look at the
code every day;) The client side is low priority atm, but i would accept
any good patches that adds any of these features.

This has never happened to me... Does this happen on all torrents you try,
or just some from a special source? Perhaps the torrents you use are
multi-file torrents with only a single file? Not sure what i would
consider this a bug or feature if it is what is happening. ;)
