It's both closed source and it shows ads in the client. I believe at least one P2P network was compromised by its ad system, but I forget which. Not to mention, if it's closed source AND they're willing to put ads in to make money, what ELSE would they be willing to put in to make money? I use Deluge or qBittorrent.

Yes, on newer version, I still use 1.6.1 cuz is the best no ads no search just place torrent file n enjoy.

The amount of people using uTorrent disturbs me...

Don't think that torrents by their nature are handled by the NSA but your right that is quite the impressive number
Even though I don't use it on my main but have it installed on other units
I guess I'll make a note that Vuze accepts bitcoins

I used limewire in the early 2000`s, then went to use utorrent.

Before limewire it was called kazza or something.

uTorrent, for obvious reasons. A (very) tiny BitTorrent client.

But I must say it has been a bloatware since a last few releases; tries to install 3rd party tools when you install free version. And pushes you to buy the 'Plus' version every now-and-then.  I mean, REALLY? Who the fcuk wants a PAID version of a torrent client?
Switch to another client then. There are many open-source, non 3rd party installing clients. Transmission for example only ask you to donate once in a while on start up.

Why? Is it bad?

It's both closed source and it shows ads in the client. I believe at least one P2P network was compromised by its ad system, but I forget which.

Ads has never bothered me but the closed source thing is pretty major! Going to give qbit a try.

I don't use torrents simply because I always worry all the downloading will slow my computer down.  I'm aware there are ways to store the downloads of the computer I'm just saying why I always hesitated to do so.  I'll be taking note of where others go for their downloads cause I think I'll try it soon.

µTorrent - sheerly for the options it provides plus being able to set-up a proxy without too much hassle. The only annoying thing is the ads although those are quite easily removed.

how did uTorrent get to be the best?

Simple small app n every one will tell you is simple. I believe this is only matter of choice n mainly most of utorrent user head from a friend n they start using it.

Me found it randomly on app search tested it n it was better from azures n from that day I use utorrent.
