      Yeah, didn’t it use your CPU to mine bitcoins?

      I use qbittorrent, probably 10-15 years now, but moving mostly to NZB.

        Yeah I thought it was well known since like 2016 that utorrent mined crypto

        When I switched to qbittottent I was able to transfer my progress from utorrent since the data was compatible. Around the time I over utorrent was starting to serve ads.

    I’m boggled by the idea of a person who is savvy enough to know about lemmy but still uses a dogshit, customer-hating client like uTorrent. Use Qbittorrent, it’s been the best for a solid 15 years. When you were annoyed by the ads, you should have immediately gone looking for a different client. The learning curve between torrent clients is a flat line.

    Don’t use uTorrent. Use transmission, qbittorent, or deluge.

    Or skip torrents entirely and use soulseek. Or Usenet.

    But not utorrent.

      Usenet+soulseek is the way to go imo. I only use torrents as a backup these days.

      Seriously. You quit using some streaming service because they gave you ads, so you use a bittorrent client that has ads?

      Plenty of good ones out there that don’t. Open source qbittorrent being my personal favorite.

    Yeah check out uTorrent ads instead! 🙄

    It used to be a good downloader. Now it sucks.
