Pity we will never see a genuine version of uTorrent that will support it. That was a real loss.

- vanderZwan 9y agoWe have plenty of good open source alternatives now. qTorrent works fine
- smegel 9y agoThanks I haven't hear of that. And it is written in C++ which is nice. Is it considered the spiritual successor to the original uTorrent?
- nyolfen 9y agoit is: >The qBittorrent project aims to provide an open-source software alternative to µTorrent. though in my experience it is more of a memory hog and buggier than utorrent. but that doesn't stop me from using it
- lucasverra 9y agoI've switched to transmission client and never looked back (4 yrs ago)
- phire 9y agoIt's nowhere near as perfect as utorrent once was. But it's pretty good and I have plenty of extra memory (it's currently using 305mb while seeding 40+ torrents, dropping down to 65mb if I pause them all.)
- vopi 9y agoI love qtorrent. They even have built in torrents search for various sites like TPB and Linux isos ;)
- lmm 9y agoI wouldn't be surprised if qbittorrent predates uTorrent; Wikipedia says it dates to 2006. But it wasn't popular on windows until uTorrent started doing dodgy things.
- StreamBright 9y agoSorry I am not sure why is that. Would you mind explaining?
- kyberias 9y agouTorrent used to be really efficient, small memory-footprint, full featured bittorrent-client. One of the best software I've ever used to download... perfectly legal content [1] from the internets. Now it's full of ads and performs poorly. [1] Like all the different Linux distro install images over and over again.
- pwg 9y agoTake a look at rtorrent: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent It fits the efficient, small memory-footprint and no ads requirements. "Full Featured" is subjective as it depends upon what you consider "Full Featured".
- kyberias 9y agoFull featured means that it efficiently implements all the bells and whistles of the most recent bittorrent protocol. And only that, nothing extra.
- pdimitar 9y agoI found qBittorrent to be very adequate and full of good options to provide you granularity on how would you like to manage your upload traffic.
