Vuse does have a learning curve, yes. But it does have a help & support area. Go to Help menu. There is both a vuse wiki for FAQ and also a vuse forum.

For some questions you can PM me ... however I'm off to bed very soon.

Vuse contains so much more information about the torrents than LW does. And Vuse will not be blocked like LW sometimes is. Just one point about Vuse: you do need to keep your share ratio up, otherwise if it drops below ... can't remember now .. think it's 0.3 or 0.5, downloads slow down until overall upload quantity catches up. Control 5 brings up Statistics page, then Transfers tab, you will see your overall ratio for both the session & overall (total).
