Ituaf added PicoTorrent as alternative(s) to qBittorrent Enhanced Edition

Despite it lacks many features we all used to, it's the most promising replacement for spoiled uTorrent and all the ugly/crapy/buggy/bloaty "alternatives" out there. Very lightweight, native looking, actively developed by right people.
The "most promising replacement" is qBittorrent without lacking features. And of course without ads and crashes.

If you don't mind keep yourself in use cases of 'normal user', keep torrents number below thousands, shrink down trackerlist, limit your connections number, only bind to one network interface, keep temp IPv6 addresses from growing, only listening to few addresses, SOCKS5 proxy doesn't support IPv6, mem leaking libtorrent 2.0 rollbacked to 1.x, and other unknown reasons causing sluggish UI happened near version 4.4 etc etc...
though I won't deny its development is active and there's a good anti-leeching fork Enhanced Edition.

Looks like Transmission, but without its bugs
