As well as the elegant hard work done by the Azureus project. I really 
think this is our bt client. We can default to beginner mode and even 
disable one of its most important features (UPnP) by default. Those 
people with routers will know they need to setup port forwarding and 
will be happy that UPnP is there to greet them. Secure by default, 
simple for the newcomer and advanced enough to "Just Work" for the power 
users. -mf
