Tired of your bullshit, utorrent

[Abcdfv]

I used utorrent back in the 2.0 days, but I've made a permanent switch to tixati. Just as lightweight as utorrent used to be, and has never given me an issue. It's got an intuitive interface as well.

 

[_Chaz_]

I use Deluge.
I stopped using uTorrent ages ago. It was slow, it was full of ads, and every update would wipe my settings.

I'm using 1.8.4 without any issues.

^This really works.

I've switched to qBittorrent for a while now which is like the new uTorrent without any ads.

Vuze had too many crap I didn't need and wasn't lightweight so it didn't suit me anyway.

You can actually use the free version of utorrent to torrent utorrentpro. The pro version doesn't have the ads.

What exactly where you doing when you came across an almost 3 month old dead thread? I'm honestly confused by how necros like this happen.

It's already been discussed how to make standard utorrent ad-free in this thread anyway.

I came across the thread, read it, and saw that no one had said anything about utorrentpro. I made my post, and if it helps even one person then it was worth it. Just trying to be helpful my man. Sorry if it bothered you

I personally run QBittorrent myself, but I also run Linux

 

[Plstic]

I use libtorrent but that's because I have a seedbox .

 

[vayanui8]

I recently swapped to deluge due to an issue with utorrent connecting on a private tracker and its been working well for me.

And just like that, the thread is alive again! hahaha

For the first time ever I'm rolling back uTorrent to an earlier version - 3.4.2 introduced one huge unremovable ad. I suggest refraining from updating your uTorrent before this crap is officially gone - I've looked through the advanced settings and haven't found a way to disable it yet.

EDIT: Nevermind, ads removed once more - all hail uTorrent!

Wait wut

Not sure if you can tell, but I'm on 3.4.2 and...

Spoiler: No ads here, boss

That's odd. I can't seem to get rid of the huge Bittorrent Bundles homescreen, any tips? I've already gone through the usual ads-disabling routine.

On the left, with the "Bundles" text, just right click and there will be an option to disable. AFAIK, you can do that with all the items on the GUI now.

I've just rolled back - I'll re-update and tell you if it worked. Herp-a-derp, I'm so used to using the advanced settings that I didn't even check the GUI ones.

EDIT: Huh... a fresh installation had unremovable ads... now that I've updated from 3.2.3 to 3.4.2, the ads are gone. Okay, that's weird. Accusation retracted.

EDIT2: Apparently content upsell cannot be disabled in 3.4.2, but I assume there's a loophole here - settings transfer from 3.2.3, so they're still disabled if you update. The offending new setting is offers.featured_content_url, by the way - at least that's where the stupid Bundles content resides.

I just use qBittorrent, download the video, delete from the app and close it.

Whenever you are about to download/install an update, you should ask yourself: is there anything in this update that I want or need, such as a security fix or an interesting new feature? If not, don't update.

Also, you should probably use Deluge, as someone else already mentioned. It is open source, lightweight, there are no ads and it is whitelisted on all respectable trackers. http://deluge-torrent.org/

Wisest post I've seen in a long time, exactly true. 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it'
