Who still uses uTorrent in 2026? I thought everyone jumped to other clients about ten years ago.
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.
You’re in luck: qBittorrent still works great. No ads.
I honestly thought it was criticizing utorrent
Strange capitalization and punctuation.
Meme stamp of approval!

Transmission just works, no bullshit
