about PicoTorrent · Jul 2017 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

Everything is amazing, simple and easy to look at GUI, downloads torrents very well. The one problem i have with this app is selecting the files in the torrent, it doesn't use the tree view, but uses a more clutered view, which i found hard to locate the files.
