Hello, thanx for developing ktorrent! It is one of my favorite programs. :D

I would like to point out a possible usability issue.

In ktorrent settings dialog the "Defaults" button actually resets all settings to their default values. I believe the expected behaviour is to reset only the current tab.

I may be wrong but I just accidentally reseted all my options, thus I believe the reset per setting approach is more logical.

I know, but the config dialog is KDE code, not our code.

Then, if it's possible, you could add a warning that all settings are going to reset.

In Konqueror settings the same button does not reset all tabs, just the current one. Maybe you can get a hint from there?

I am not a programmer so I am sorry if I make obviously wrong assumptions. :)
