Lots of people who like uTorrent simply use older versions, like the last version right before all the contested changes of v3 (v2.2.1 Build 25302 which you can get here[1]), or even some of the older 1.8x versions.

- twiceaday 13y agoI recommend 2.2. AFAIR subsequent versions were released after the company got bought and I lost all faith.
- scrabble 13y agoI've never upgraded from 2.2.1 and it still works great for me, except for the fact that I have to tell it not to update every time it loads.
- Wingman4l7 13y agoYou can turn that "do you want to update?" off: Options -> Preferences -> General and then uncheck "Check for updates automatically".
- gcb0 13y agoThis is the beauty of an open protocol. No matter how much market share one client gets, if it screw up everyone just move to the next. Imagine if everyone were using gshare and the company decided everyone had to use gshare+ and all the data was dependent on their servers/network. Good luck trying to keep an older version or trying an alternative after one company dominated the majority of the market.
- kamjam 13y agoI never use installers for these types of software, I prefer using portable versions where possible: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/utorrent_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/utorrent_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/qbittorrent_portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/qbittorrent_portable I still use uTorrent Portbale, never had problems with toolbar installers or hijackers yet.
