BitTorrent 4.3.6

What have they done? They seem to have new icons everywhere in this version, and I'm not sure I like them yet. The good news is the icons are just PNG files under images\icons\default (perhaps they plan on updating the GUI to let people select a theme\directory?), so I'm thinking of creating new icons (and perhaps obtaining the old style ones as some form of classic pack) and making them available on my site. I'd be quite happy to host icons from anyone else.
Anyway, I've quickly updated their source with my usual modifications and made my own version, of 4.3.6, now available on the site. On the plus side, it should be a lot more stable (it was pretty damn good before), as they claim to have made two fixes to the "list.remove(x): x not in list" bug (I wonder if they just catch the error and ignore it, will have to check sometime - I suspect they set it to x when there's an error and remove it later, but if two things add x to the list it might add it, then update it, then remove it, then try and remove something that doesn't exist anymore).
