>literally nothing, ever
The same reason there's still like 2 million AOL subscribers.
It still works and they don't give a shit. utorrent users are probably all children, old people, or complete retard normies.
What's so bad about utorrent?
>>55288630
>implying normies know how to use utorrent
>>55288614
So installing a Bitcoin miner on your PC without even telling you is 'literally' nothing? Okay.
Also before you even reply, people that opted-out of the install still got it installed on their PC so don't go with the "b-b-but you can opt-out of it" bullshit.
>>55288699
It's literal adware.

>>55288699
utorrent is proprietary, meaning you can never be 100% sure that they aren't fucking with you, and they install 3rd party garbage via their installer.
Everyone started hating utorrent in 2015 when one of the 3rd party programs was also installing malware along with it.
>>55288630
I use AOL. people laugh when I give them my email.

there is no bitcoin miner now at all, and 3rd party tools in install setup are bullshit if u have any deceant antivirus or common sense u can uncheck checkboxes and thats all

>>55289830
>Using old, possibly insecure, software on purpose
lol
>>55289895
What? I have a hard time even understanding what you're writing.
So using proprietary adware is OK, because the OS you're using is a cracked version you've torrented? So not only are you using the arguably most vulnerable OS there is. You've gotten it from possibly the most insecure source on the internet: some torrent site.
What reason do you have to be using Windows in the first place?

>>55288571
Is there a piece of software that has gone further from its roots than utorrent?
I mean, back in the v1 era it was under 200kB and quite literally a micro torrent client. Now its 2.4MB and filled with ads, addons and bullshit that is completely unnecessary.
It went to shit after it sold out, as usual.
>>55288597
Yeah... I don't want ransomware
What shit? tell me? what's better than 2.2.1? huh? huh? tell me? tell me? 2.2.1 is still accepted at EVERY SINGLE PRIVATE TRACKER except oppaidead because of their autistic ruler.
What? Tell me? What? 2.2.1 > all. What I gonna use?
Deluge?? more like delose. Faggot racing pos.
qstalledmeme? hahahahahaha
rtorrent? sorry, my desktop is not a seedbox? I'd buy a seedbox to use rtorrent

>>55290062
winbabby mad that his software is
- proprietary
- more than 5 (five) years old
- probably full of security holes
Even more mad knowing that
- it will always be proprietary
- if he updates, it will install a complementary bitcoin miner (don't worry it is for charity :^)
- it is literally adware

tixati is banned from basically all private trackers due to the staggering ammount of cheating scripts there are.

Is there something simple like Transmission but also with labels or tags or something so I can categorize my shit
i still use limewire as my torrent program

>>55292187
Deluge is the only thing you need, it even sorts them automatically based on tracker.
I'm pajeet and I use shit internet on Android for torrent.
I used utorrent first, then moved to Flud for the features and potentially less botnet. It's beautiful, but started being unstable a bit.
So moved to utorrent pro (for free of course).
When I had good bandwidth, I always used Transmission.
>>55288699
utorrent got shady after a certain version, best to move on to a different client.
>>55290956
I'd download a car if I could.
I actually like tixati the best but deluge works better with my vpn and isn't banned

>>55292074
For the same reason everyone uses android and no one uses windows phone: people uses whatever comes installed by default. If it were that people identifies the brand "windows" with good quality then windows phone would be the the most used phone, but the truth is that most people hardly knows what is windows in the first place. Too bad at this moment almost a whole generation is trained from a young age to use windows so they only notices the difference when you put something else in their computers and a button is not in the same exact place, because a lot of them just makes their work almost mechanically.

Why do you speak like a nigger having a seizure
I used to use utorrent, but I kept having issues with it. I've been using Deluge for the past couple years and haven't had any problems.
>>55293740
Deluge is by far the worst torrent client I have ever used.
Maybe, for light use, it's fine but it kills it's self with huge torrents or if you have a lot of torrents.
More builds
So, realistically how much caution do I need to take when torrenting. I remember back in high school people acted like it was a really big deal. "Oh, if you're going to torrent you need to be behind like, 8 proxies and change your IP every hour and set up your computer to act like its in Europe." But I have been torrenting terabytes of shit for at least 16 years now without any sort of protection and have never had any issues.
Is it one of those things where as long as you don't go around announcing it to people on the street no one will ever give a fuck?
Mine, baby mine! You're gonna have to do better than... nothing.
>>55293825
Just don't seed. Yeah, people will look at you sideways but when you start seeding is when you are more likely to get real charges. It's like a drug dealer versus a buyer.
>>55293749
How huge? I've been downloading files that go beyond the 10GB mark and had zero problems with it.
>>55293849
That becomes a problem when the only place you can find what you want is one of those places that won't let you have anything unless you keep above a certain ratio.
The real question is why do people still torrent after it's been completely and totally fucking locked down by content owners, it's a fucking flawed sharing method that was never made for the internet in general, and the fact that YOU FUCKING ADVERTISE YOUR IP ADDRESS TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT CONNECTS TO THAT TORRENT should tell you that if you're going to fucking copy something without permission, you shouldn't use this fucking method to do it.
I think the largest thing I've downloaded with Deluge was about 95GB(About 700 individual files) and it worked fine for me.
>>55293876
Every time I would restart, I would have to re-check almost every torrent over 10GB, I had 700~ torrents and a few 100GB+ torrents, fucking stupid.
Once it lost everything and it tried to make me re-check them all.
Nope'd the fuck out and installed qBittorrent, I haven't had any real problems with it yet and have over 1000 torrents going right now. The whole 'stalled' meme is just because every possible error results in 'stalled'..
Also, deluge is laggy as fuck with so many torrents. It has no "file missing" error so when I had my external un-pluged for whatever reason, it re-downloaded 40~GB to the default directory.
Fucking what. What /isn't/ wrong with deluge?
>>55293905
Do you realize every form of communication using the internet involves your IP address?
What kind of idiot are you? There have been cases of copyright trolls getting IP data from direct download sites.
Does the installer with the miner even exist anymore?
I'm gonna have to google this to see if I can find the damn build number.
>>55293963
>small chance of a certain method getting your ip

>people actually use utorrent
I feel forced to. I've tried all of the popular free clients and for me they have all been plagued by a combination of laggy/weird behavior and shit connectivity. I reinstalled uTorrent 2.2.1 a couple weeks ago and all torrents that would hardly seed under qBittorrent suddenly started seeding properly. Many torrents are closing in on triple digits ratio now. With qBittorrent they would barely break even.
Deluge
>>55288717
>>55297726
What? Get some friends or get out more. Apart for older people most of the people I know know how to torrent a file. Most of them use uTorrent, but still. Get off your high fucking horse, it's literally just clicking a button.

In my recent experience, only uTorrent actually uses my internet connection.
Transmission and Deluge don't even display the total number of peers in the swarm let alone download from a lot of them.
qBittorrent literally the stall meme is real.
