Heh.  I hardly ever use any of those menus, and I was totally focussed
on the basic description and default experience for upgraders.

That's good feedback - thanks.  In Dapper at least you're right that
it isn't in the menu by default (NoDisplay=true in the desktop file).
I don't know why.  I fixed the location and told people they could
enable it with Applications->Accessories->Alacarte Menu Editor.

I don't know about other Ubuntu releases.  Is there an easy way to see
the default menus in all the current versions of Ubuntu for the most
important install options?

I also haven't spent any time on the other options for bittorrent.
I may get to them, but feedback on them would be welcome, or feel free
to have at them yourselves.

Cheers,
