The KGet UI is too confusing for new users and it needs to be simplified. KGet is not an app that is used for extended periods of time, so users do not have the time or the need to learn what the toolbar icons do. i recommend removing most of them and leaving only resume, pause, delete, restart and paste. The icons should also have text beside them to explain what they are. A person should be able to use all the basic features of kget the first time they open it, and more advanced features should remain in the menus.

Also the "Resumed" and "Count" lists should be removed by default as well because they are confusing and arent needed by the majority of people. here is a screenshot of what i think kget should look like.
