As with every BT client, there is a way to look at details of the downloading torrent. G3 differs in a way here because it shows some details by default, like the IP Addresses of users you are currently connected to. You can have a look at more details by selecting a torrent and clicking the details tab below the file list. I have removed the filename of the download that was going as well as the Hash info and tracker announce URL. Basically you can see it tells you the status and details on what has been downloaded so far. It also shows you some details about the connections to other peers. One of the most important parts here is it shows you your Share Ratio. The one in this screenshot has 0 because the torrent just started and probably has not gotten enough data to begin uploading just yet. We will go more into Share Ratio soon.
There is a built in graph system in G3 Torrent that some users might like to use. As you can see it is very easy to understand. On the left hand side on the pic you see 100kbps. This is because I didn't change the setting earlier in the Network Options. Since the torrent just started, if you look at the graph you will see there was very little activity. The graph is sort of self explanatory except of course the part about the capacities it is working with. To see the graph anytime, just click the graph tab.
This is something I definitely wont go much into because most torrent clients don't make use of a friends system. However if you look this is also very easy to understand. All you need is the IP Address of your friend to add him/her to your friends list. Like I said, clients don't make a system of friends therefore this is a feature I don't use myself but is one that a lot of readers might like to try out. Maybe in the next update of this guide, I'll cover this a bit more.
