I'm not sure why, but I always had problems with intensive mail traffic and mutt. Also many mails are html-base and mutt is not the best way to deal with them. (I know that html mails are disgusting, but too many people use them these days to disregard this trend completely.) So I use sylpheed. It is GUI-based, can read html mails (but not write them, he-he). So it suits me well. Your mileage may vary, of course. > What about IRC client? Use irssi.

This is a client-server application, so transmission-daemon runs as system service as unpriviledged user and all management is done via nice CLI tool transmission-remote. Also transmission is fully-fledged solution supporting all trends like dht, utp and so on. You'll love it. > I know that I can use google! but I would like to know your opinion. Browser-based solution can't be lightweight, so I try to avoid them whenever possible.
