- Changelog Notifications: Displays update messages with detailed changelogs when a new version becomes available.
- Public Trackers List Auto-Update: Keeps the tracker list up-to-date with minimal user intervention.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for advanced BitTorrent users seeking enhanced privacy, efficient peer management, and streamlined updates. This tool ensures a safer and more controlled torrenting experience by blocking unwanted peers and maintaining updated tracker lists.
