As annoyed as I am by the reactions here (uTorrent didn't maliciously install adware behind anyone's back), I moved to Mac in 2009 and stayed there until I decided to build an HTPC for my living room. First thing I did was install uTorrent, and I was confronted with so much bloat. There are ads INSIDE the torrent list, and there are options to stream video/music. Completely unexpected.
From what I understand, there hasn't been a client that's truly taken its place.
- jrs99 13y agoyou should google utorrent toolbar mystery. many people have chosen not to install the toolbar and ended up with a toolbar.
- hayksaakian 13y agoLike others have noted, if you were happy with uTorrent in 2009, just use an older version. There's really not much different with torrents in the last few years. Magnet link support is the only thin I can think of.

- gcb0 13y agoThe new version runs ten ad networks' code.. I'd bet the 93k one is safer
