You must not have strayed far from the crappy clients of old then.
The latest stable Windows x64 build of qBittorrent is 27.9 MB (https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html). Older versions fluctuate between 18MB and ~29 MB (https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent-old.html https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent-old.html). qBittorrent is open source and has no ads. I've been a user for many years now.
- jasonkester 4y agoDo you realize you're writing this on a thread about how the latest version of qBittorrent got crappy? This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's why I've been ignoring upgrade messages on qBittorrent (which is my daily driver) for over a year now.

- dmitryminkovsky 4y agoThey botched, in some peoples’ opinion, a visual update. It did not “get crappy.” QBT is not Transmission/uTorrent (yet).
- alimbada 4y agoWhat's wrong with Transmission? I haven't used it recently but it seemed more than competent enough when I did.
- dmitryminkovsky 4y agoPerhaps I am mistaken—someone please correct me if I am wrong—but I think its auto-updates were compromised with malware a few times.
- dmitryminkovsky 4y agoYeah, here's a story about one of the incidents https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11234589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11234589. I believe there was another. But I guess even in spite of this, it's not fair to say it's crappy :). My bad!
