Please re-enable advanced options in 5.x

While I like that FDM is getting development, the 5.1.10 beta I downloaded was 'dumbed down' entirely too far. While many people will be more than happy with the simplicity of the new interface, many of your more advanced users use the software precisely because it does allow for advanced use.

An example is torrent integration. While I applaud FDM's dev team for continued support of the torrent protocol, many people do not use it for that purpose. I already have a quite capable, and much better setup just for torrents, on its own dedicated machine, so that some of the software that I use such as *nix distributions and some software, get full bandwidth of my connection that I am not currently using. With FDM 3.x I can happily save files to the correct location without any hassle. In the new interface, so many options are no longer present. Also I did specify curing isntall to not associate with torrents and magnets, which should have been an indication that I did not want torrent support in the program enabled.

TLDR; please bring back advanced options to 5.x generation of FDM. It's dumbed down *too much*.
