Nothing against it but I always wonder what leads to posting a link to a website out of the blue sky. No news, no releases, just a link to a frontpage.

I often think it's a program or set of docs that someone happened upon for the first time themselves, but that can't explain all of them; regardless, I love these kinds of posts, for the opportunity to encounter something that others might have assumed to be obvious and the spontaneous discussions that occur

I'm with you. I was actually expecting a message about it being hacked or something similar to when Transmission had malware added to a version of it.

Yes, several times

Thanks for that, I'm getting rid of transmission. So sad. Do you wanna suggest a client? I value apps which are light in resources with fast ui

I was just wondering the same thing. Maybe it's to simply bring awareness to those who haven't seen it before?

There are ton of junk posts like that every day. The more interesting question is what makes some of these occasionally gain traction and upvotes seemingly at random.
