Description

Feature description

The official Download Page helpfully lists links for Syncthing Windows Setup, and SyncTrayzor v2, specifically recommended for "new users unfamiliar with Syncthing", of which I am one. So I downloaded and ran both, and quickly stumbled into my first issue detailed here. Since I am clearly not the first, please could the download page be updated to make it clear that new users unfamiliar with Syncthing should really only choose one?!
