using the free version, but going to buy the full as soon as I'm done with the trial most likely. it works great! so far....

JSTorrent "just works" without any tweaking or messing about with settings, yet, has settings enough for an experienced torrent user. I recently moved to a Chromebook from Linux Mint. With Mint I used transmission torrent client and JSTorrent is equal to the task. So far no crashes, lost files, or weird quirks. Great work gang, I will pay for the unlimited version, well worth the few bucks.
