Why is this considered bad now?

>now
Ha.

>Proprietary software is literally malware
this meme again

All software should be considered malware until proven otherwise. And there is no way to prove proprietary software isn't.

>everything I disagree with is a meem

it literally is
fuck off, shill

The new ones are cancer.

It showed ad of two black dudes kissing a few years back to me so i switched to transmission and deluge

It's basically proprietary qbit, potentially malware. Worthless.

utorrent is the winamp of bittorrent

That's good

qBittorrent is superior to this malware piece of shit in everyway

GO STR8 TO JAIL

Lies

μtorrent is just a scam to give malware to people who don't know how to emulate/pirate

>its literally hacking

wait for it..

the isp once cut off my internet or walled gardened me and put this on my computer.

i called them and they told me they were protecting me from "hacking"

that news report is the proof that they claim that is what the hacking is they protect you from. and they totally blame p2p programs

why would anybody fucking care though about warezing or "getting" more money for the niggercopyrightniggers.monkeys.niggers

Happens from time to time, a piece of software will get very hyped, chinks will buy it to sideload their botnet into the neurotypical's computers.
Other one that felt for the same fate was ImgBurn.

The last best utorrent was 1.6

I would change my isp the second they did something like this

Isn't it the same for all burger ISPs?

> Why is this considered bad now?
No, not now. It was proprietary software from the start. You must have heard about most of Jow Forums not liking that for reasons of maintaining control of your own damn machine?

But like other proprietary garbage, this also comes with a long series of privacy-invasive and other annoying behaviour. Just use an open source client that isn't trash.

Cvetorrent brought to you by MPAA

"now"

Jow Forums used to love utorrent and you know it

Install tixati.

>Literal botnet that mines crypto

Then it started installing malware, and now mines crypto. You can use the old versions if you want, but there's better software out today.

The /v/ Windows users quite possibly liked it? Might literally have been the smallest piece of software they regularly used.

But it was never open sauce or cross-platform; a decent-sized group on Jow Forums didn't approve from the start. As pretty much always, they were correct again.

I use qBittorrent and can see increased GPU activity whenever it's active. I think it may be just as bad as uTorrent.

>now
Fuck off, MPAA nigger.

Except the people who criticize utorrent generally recommend a more reputable torrent client instead...

> I think it may be just as bad as uTorrent.
It is open source. Show that it's bad.

More likely than not, you're just seeing Windows drawing the list or it's some other botnet code running when there is some system load already so the battery consumption spike & fan running and all that isn't QUITE as obvious as it would be if the machine was completely idle.

Oh, I somehow managed to forget that one is open source. It's extremely unlikely, then.

Jow Forums users have been bitching about utorrent for a while now. How new are you?

If you need a torrent client for Macroshite Wormbutts just use qbittorrent or transmission.

dear god it's like a nasa control panel

>Macroshite Wormbutts
grow up

It's been bad ever since the 3.* versions, and the 2.* versions are long since outdated and proven to be insecure.

It's also non-free software.

I'm still using a old version of BitComet. Should I switch?

>I'm still using a old version of BitComet.
Are you usually this retarded or trolling?

You probably should switch to any of the many good open sauce clients, yes?

the porn tracker i use banned it a year ago in favor of qbitorrent reee

I'm not meming.
I'll have a look

Good lord, I burst laughting.
Have a (you)

Literally chinese malware, Bitcomet is.

I've been using it for well over a decade and never had problems with it. Now I know.

How old are you?

28

There is literally no reason to use anything other than Deluge or Transmission. qBittorrent stalls & Tixatifags need not apply.

I'd argue that Transmission, rtorrent and ktorrent are the only stable, performant clients that aren't malware.

>qBittorrent stalls
Nice 2013 meme.
Works on my machine.

>now?
You mean since, what, 7 years ago?

You forgot BiglyBT (and open sauce Linux distro variants of Vuze).
The client lineage that has been stable and reliable with many huge torrents for the longest.

Is it any good? I see I2P logo in the bottom, so i guess it has I2PSnark support, which would be better than basic web interface.

>java
no thanks

>Is it any good
I think so. It's not only one of the oldest bittorrent clients out there, but also the most feature filled ones. It's hard to beat a project this mature in any regard. It's performant, extensible, and stable.
People don't like it though because it's built on Java. As if that means anything, especially when you consider literally all of the competition is either broken or has only the bare minimum wrappings around libtorrent.

BiglyBT has every BT extension out of the box as well as support for discovery over tor and i2p built in. I don't even know if any other client allows you to scrape the DHT and do swarm merging and this has existed for years.

The UI has every metric you could want and is customizable. Since it's Java it runs literally everywhere, even your phone.

As far as I'm concerned there never has been competition for bittorrent clients as long as Azeuras existed. Why people even try is baffling.

As if you contribute patches to the client you use in whatever language it's written in anyway.
Please explain what is wrong with Java in your own words and in your own experience. I gaurantee you're parroting shit you don't understand.

>Please explain what is wrong with Java in your own words and in your own experience.
I don't install that shit on my system because there's too many ways for it to be exploited.

I don't think that's a reasonable argument against Java specifically, and may actually be something Java handles better than most given its age and background alone.
Check the CVE's for your favorite language's standard and common libraries. Java likely has less per year than the rest. Not to mention that even on platforms without package managers, the Oracle distributions ship with an updater by default. Shit like Python doesn't do this, C++ doesn't do this. Hope your sysadmin and/or distro maintainer figures out a way to let you know that it's time to update, how to do so, and how to remove exploitable versions.

Not to mention java apps have slow, kludgy UI's.

That's not inherent to the language at all and is obviously application dependent. The BiglyBT UI is legitimately the best I've ever interacted with so this is the worst scenario to make this argument.

>updated to or installed the latest version
Cuck

BiglyBT should be named BloatyBT. It's a cluttered mess of pointless features. And it's based on java which makes it clunky to operate.

that being said, BiglyBT is my current client, which i switched to after getting tired of qbittorrent bricking my network adapter and the development of picotorrent is slower than a snail. and it works great. ui retardation set aside

When one of your features is modularity, I don't think it's fair to talk about bloat.
Removing all the features you don't want/use is as easy as unticking checkboxes in the plugin window.

And I mean we're talking about everything as low as protocol support being optional. Don't want utp for some reason? Uninstall it.

Also the UI can be changed however you want look at this monstrosity Any component you want can be arranged in any order or layout you can imagine.

This is foobar2000 levels of UI customization with even less effort from the user.
