    I don’t understand why everyone shits on uTorrent. Maybe new versions are bloated with miners and ads, but for example on Rutracker a custom version of uTorrent 3.2.3 is the most popular one and i’ve been using it for like 3 years without any problems. The only downside of it is that it has no dark mode, but that’s it.

    When i tried using qBitTorrent i couldn’t set it up to use 100% of my traffic, it was very abrupt. So i just stick to uTorrent. Am i missing out on something?

      Yeah, you’re missing the part that it’s proprietary, and you have no real way of knowing what’s running on your system. It could be mining bitcoin at night or forcing ads on you.
