Other then that I really don't like Transmission, what could it "indicate" more? Because I guess most torrent programs behave the same with the indicators.

        Yes, you've grasped the basic idea. Indicators are meant
        primarily as an indication of something, like a notification
        that you can or should respond to. Many applications should
        rather use a quicklist than an indicator.

        I absolutely agree that Transmission should rather use
        Quicklists than indicator as its currently being used, simply
        because it's just a menu and doesn't indicate anything.

        With regards to Skype, you'll have to use Skype/Microsofts bug
        tracker, I guess. :)

     Transmission is more of a background service (or at least for a
    lot of people that seed) , so it shouldn't be in the launcher all
    the time (if it's not pinned) . It could be more "indicating" ,
    but that's another topic :)

Torrents completed , seeding ,not seeding , there are a bunch of conditions that can be implemented . That you don't like transmission is a whole different story :D get deluge or something (I'm not the biggest fan of transmission either , but deluge doesn't handle magnet links -if you dont use them it's very good ) .
