Rel/Req Bots: MLink Lib vs. FreshStuff3 vs. Other

[pR0Ps]

A lot of users come here asking for a rel/req bot. I thought if we could have one thread with all the major players and their features compared in it, it would help a lot of people out.

MLink Lib v3.0 LUA 5.1

• Skinnable interface
• Internal 'Nuker' for bad releases
• Ability to hold optional info;
            - Links to websites
            - Magnet links
            - Additional notes about the release / request
• Auto cleaning
• Tasks are done through the use of ASCII menus
• Administrative only commands
• Full Right-Click command menu
• Duplicate checker
• Latest releases sent to PM or Main
• Users comments, Release rank
• Poster ranking system

FreshStuff3 v5.0.1 (last stable version, v5.5 alpha1 exists)

• Modular design
• Store releases categorized and give them back by category, the latest n ones or all
• Release deletion is possible
• Request manager module included
• Extras module with release pruning and top-release-adders included
• The core and modules are host app independent
• Host app specific behaviour is handled by a separate module

NOTES: This list of features is what was released with the script and may not be complete. Feel free to correct me. Also, if you know of another good rel/req bot, post it.

Thank you for not forgetting FreshStuff3. MLink Lib seems to be a much more featureful and user-friendly while Freshstuff3 is a bit geeky by intention and is optimized for large databases and created the way so it can be ported to other hubsofts (or clients, for that matter) provided that they are scriptable with Lua. The project seems dead but in fact it isn't, it is undergoing major code cleanup, and an overhauled requester module is also in the works.
Here is a roadmap: http://bit.ly/bc6wTE
Sorry for the plug.
