Among other things, utorrent uses your CPU for some kind of crypto mining scheme.
No joke
Wow, really? Source?
Classic cryptomining malware smh 😑
I was utorrent user and now utorrent feels bloated and I think I need to start move on. So, qbittorrent is the answer
Years behind the trend, uTorrent is dangerous.
Qbittorrent really showcases why open source software really is peak software performance (or the potential of it)
Yeah i ditched utorrent years ago when the installer started being full of shit and adware apps. qbittorrent was how it used to feel
Man I remember that update. I did hear about it pretty quickly so I never actually downloaded it, but I saw screenshots afterwards of people reacting to seeing the ads and shit, and found qbit to be basically the same thing with a slightly different skin.
I still prefer the look of the old uTorrent (I'm assuming it's very different now) though.
But I stopped using torrents probably within a month of that happening. Haven't messed with piracy since, but things are looking... inevitable.
I wish they supported their MacOS client
Try Transmission, it looks more akin to other mac apps as well
Idk what the issue is on macs as QT should work on macs just fine, maybe issues with libtorrent?
Transmission is what I use. It’s at least not as buggy on my new system as it was on the old.
I use Transmission on MacOS as well, but I wish they would update their UI. I've been using Transmissionic on Windows for that reason
Is deluge no good? That's what I use.
Nothing wrong with Deluge
Deluge is fine. Mainly the take away is that no one should be using uTorrent. It's been a terrible piece of software, at best and likely malware , for what feels like decades.
did the same a few months ago..couldn't keep up with utorrent's shenanigans..it's full malware at this point..the core software was good however i miss it
