Yeah, I'm immediately uninstalling this piece of crap now.

I recommend you guys switch to qBittorrent, heard that's like 20x better.

Torrenting =/= piracy
Torrenting is just another way of downloading. People abuse it however.

hasnt bittorrent been better for a while now

[U2]

qBittorrent is good, I prefer Transmission (on Linux/Mac) or Transmission-Qt (Windows). Considering that muTorrent has been basically adware for years now, I'm pretty surprised it took this much to make everyone switch.

If I recall correctly, the official Bittorrent client is just reskinned muTorrent.

qbittorrent
Deluge

Two good clients, better then stufftorrent

So THAT'S why it's been bothering me so much to update it.
