+      Feature spotlight:
+        * Uses fewer resources than other clients
+        * Native Mac, GTK+ and Qt GUI clients
+        * Daemon ideal for servers, embedded systems, and headless use
+        * All these can be remote controlled by Web and Terminal clients
+        * Bluetack (PeerGuardian) blocklists with automatic updates
+        * Full encryption, DHT, and PEX support
