A while back, µTorrent was packed with a bitcoin miner, and now it's packed with a ransomware Manamecrypt:
>The bundle consists of the genuine, working and properly signed µTorrent client with the malware component bundled “on top”
>Besides encrypting the files, Manamecrypt prevents certain applications from running if they have certain strings in their process name.
But of course, this is the best torrent client ever made, right /g/?
>µTorrent faggots on suicide watch.
anyone who still uses utorrent deserves it tbqh
inb4 the 2.2.1 meme
>>54099268
This
Normal non-retarded people switched to Transmission
>In this current case, the ransomware component was bundled with a legitimate program - a classic Trojan horse. Our advice: download needed/wanted software from the producer's website only or from trusted download portals. Where possible, do not download it from third-party-sites.
So basically if you use uTorrent official website you don't get it, you only get it if you're retarded enough to download programs from obscure third-party website. OP is retarded and uTorrent remains the best torrent client by far.

>people use utorrent to steal movies/games/applications
>gets the entire contents of their own hard drive stolen
Karma is beautiful
>>54099246
>>54099293
OP is retarted but rtorrent has been far better than utorrent for literally forever.
Utorrent 1.6.1 was the last good version of that client. It used to be the best windows torrent client back then.
These days, Deluge, Ktorrent, and Rtorrent all kick it's ass. Like they literally open up poor utorrents mouth and take a massive dump in it every time the applications are running.
Utorrent is literal shit now, and it's been fed shit for years by bittorrent inc.
I can't believe you stupid mother fuckers can literally use software with ads bundled in it.
>>54099317
uTorrent downloads much faster than rtorrent though.

Or fucking download 2.2.1
Thoughts on qBittorrent?
>>54099317
Stop using the word "literally" for emphasis you complete cunt.
>lmao butthurt uTorrent user detected xDDD
I use rTorrent.
>>54099503
>using a client that makes all your torrents stalled
No.
>>54099503
Great client unless you plan on having thousands of active torrents at the same time
>>54099541
How so?
>>54099413
Or just use qBittorrent and not have to do any of that bullshit.
uTorrent is bloated garbage, there are way better alternatives now like qBittorrent and Deluge.
>downloading malware
>not installing with apt/yum/pacman
>>54099503
I prefer Deluge mostly because the UI looks better and slightly because I can use it in daemon mode and set it to start as a system service before login. Nothing really bad about qBit but nothing that makes it stand out either.
>>54099574
qBit has a torret status called "Stalled" which appears for a couple of seconds when you first add a torrent to the client, or if the torrent has no seeders. People around here meme this out of proportion.
>>54099246
so what is a "free" and OPEN source alternative to utorrent?
>>54099316
>steal
That's not how that word works.
>>54099503
It's the best windows client.
>>54099664
Deluge, Transmission
> they don't use deluge
>>54099246
Still better than qBittorrent.
Where my vuze bros @?
silky smooth for years of use
>>54099641
>>54099643
OK, well I have a seedbox running with rTorrent, but I'm looking for a Windows client for my PC, for when I don't want to add the torrent in my seedbox and simply download some files in the torrent, usually screenshots. I don't intend to seed at all with my local connection.
Deluge is known to download 'more aggressively' from peers, right?
>>54099696

>uTorrent is bloated garbage
It's a 2MB program. qBitstalledmemetorrent is a 16MB bloated piece of crap that half the time does not work at all. Go figure..
>>54099696
I use vuze+ (got it on sale for only $15 USD). Im okay with paying $15 if it means I can efficiently download a bunch of other stuff for free, effectively saving/earning me money in the long run.
>>54099717
Both clients will cap your speeds if that's what you're asking. Deluge has fame for being more aggressive at seeding, so for your intended use that's not very relevant. Go with qBit, it's lighter and uses less resources.
>>54099748
That sounds better deal than µTorrent Pro.
>>54099764
I know you're joking but I have no problem paying for good software if it means I can download more for free.
I paid for rapidshare for years when it was out because it let me download tons of data.
>>54099668
>downloading software that the developers charged money for and using it without paying
>not stealing
what do you tell yourself at night to help you sleep better, anon?
wew thanks anon just uninstalled and my firewall blocked a PUA opencandy thing!
>>54099246
Luckily, i think its usage dropped. I no longer see peers using it in my client as much as i did.
>>54099789
where did you download it from?
>>54099696
Resources off the charts. I did find it useful once when I set up 2 wifi adapters with one on the neighbor's wifi but it was a retarded setup that I mostly did for laughs
>>54099293
>uTorrent remains the best torrent client by far.
Have you even tried other clients, Anon? It's not even free software, how can you even think it's any good?
>>54099628
Fucking THIS! qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent are all free software, why would you rather use utorrent? It just sucks.

I've literally never had any issues with 2.2.1 after years of use.
>>54099911
2.2.1 is vulnerable since 2014.
>>54099786
I don't download software that developers charged money for using when there's always a better free alternative.
Only movies and music..
>>54099900
Halite sucks tbwh. It's light, but that's all there is to it.
>>54099813
I've tried literally all of them, uTorrent is the one that works the best for me, networking speed-wise.
>>54099916
To what? Viruses, FBI?
>>54099918
So you steal movies and music?
>>54099786
Steal is well defined. You are not stealing software. You are not even stealing profits - you would, if you were selling pirated copies.
>>54099956
I think i belong in /ptg/
>>54099928
Probably a specifically crafted torrent file would result in code execution. Not the person you're responding to.
>>54099926
Give Tixati a try. I think it's faster than uTorrent, and more advanced than most others. (You can manually tell it to connect to a certain peer, for example)
>>54100041
Is there any technical explanation why tixati is faster?
>>54100049
Don't know, don't care. It's faster.

Rapidshare was pretty cheap service, compared to current date DDL sites.
>>54100152
Why did Rapidshare have to go?
Compared to dogshit we have nowadays, it's fucking horrible. Only mega is half decent.

What's exactly bloated here?
>muh ads
Do you have your torrent client window open 24/7? I only open the main window to add torrents and that's it, therefore I rarely see any ad.
>>54100280
>0.3 Mbps
That's how fast your private data is sent to advertising companies.
>>54100298

Sorry m8 I have more important things to care about
>>54100317
Right, I did not notice you were using Windows 10. Enjoy your ads, newfriend.
>>54099246
Is Bittorrent filled with bloatware too ? I know it's the same company as utorrent but I never heard that there where bitcoin minner or shit in it..
Is Bittorrent safe ?
>>54100183
In what universe does a person have CentOS and a Mint ISO on the same machine?
>>54100346
>I never heard that there where bitcoin minner or shit in it..
That's just because it's not as popular as uTorrent. But they're practically the same, except for colors. I guess people don't like purple.
Bottom line: Avoid non-free software.
>>54100369
Thanks !
>>54100344
Thanks, I will ;)
>>54099797
The official website.
Now I need to find something new, mu torrent use to be good :(
other torrent clients don't have shutdown after torrent finishes
>>54101687
qBittorrent got it?
>>54099541
If you have shitty network and want to watch movie or something while downloading ,you can use sequential download on qbittorent

CVEtorrents STRIKES AGAIN
KEKEKEKEKEKEKEEK
Why are people so adamant about defending and using utorrent?
I mean, who the fuck has brand loyalty to a torrent client?
>>54102618
They are same people how uses VLC.
>>54099246
2.2.1 is still solid and shits all over any other torrent client.
>>54102643
Shut up, I use vlc and hate cvetorrent
>>54099246
Only retards get this. If you are semi intelligent, and download utorrent from its official site, just like any other program out there, you will be fine.

Baby Duck Syndrome: so bad that not only are today's dumbfuck baby duck wannabe computer users too ignorant to stop using a file sharing technology that not only is inherently broken but also completely monitored, but also use a fucking shitty piece of software just because it's the first one they ever used.
Jesus fuck, kids. You're too stupid to live.

>what do you tell yourself at night to help you sleep better, anon?
He doesn't need to tell himself anything since the law tells it.
The law says copyright infringement isn't stealing, and thus it is treated as a civil offense.
While the Supreme Court of the US has banned referring to copyright infringement as "stealing", and it is a fineable offense in court.
Next stupid question to make yourself sleep better at night my little anon who doesn't follow the law.
>>54099246
who cares
even with malware is still the best torrent client
