Well, merging transfers, finished and download queue is bug #406298,
which you haven't weighed in on for or against it yet. Whether the pane
is removed or not hasn't been decided. We could potentially merge them
and keep them where it's at. Or we could make a separate tab/window. Or
we could have both as an option. A merged transfers/finished/queue in a
pane would be quite hard to view and wouldn't allow us to add new
features like filtering or that pause all button somebody mentioned.

My vote is for a tree-based side pane with no transfers pane as the
default configuration, and if the demand is great we can have tabs &
transfer pane as an option.

Bug description:
Today, I have used direct connect for the first time, and wondered what client I should use. After investigating for some time, I've reached the conclusion that linuxdcpp was probably the best option, but after installing it I have to recognise I was pretty confused until I managed to find out what exactly I could do, and how.

I have seen this other client, dcsharp, which seems to be dead now. But the interface is really simple. The sidebar allows you to reach the different places you can be: the search, the hubs and the conversations, as well as keep an eye on things being uploaded and downloaded. You can access all that information easily, but it never gets in the way or make the screen feel "crammed".

I'm attaching a couple screenshots of dcsharp.
