uTorrent (may) Silent Install Crypto Currency Miner

Sounds like a pain in the ass, and also for the record, I refuse to upload my own material or seed anything, just saying.

Well good for you.

Whatever you say. Just saying it doesn't sound like it's worth it.

Security issues since it's an old revision.

Welp, piracy does pay... people.

I guess I can say yay for Usenet?

Sounds like a pain in the ass, given the requirements stated in your previous post, and also for the record, I refuse to upload my own material or seed anything, just saying.

It's literally impossible to use torrents without seeding AFAIK. You'll always upload a little bit, even while downloading.

Right, but I can avoid doing as much as possible, i.e esp when it stops downloading, I stop the seeding as soon as I can.

Does anyone know if the Mac version is infected by this or is it just a PC thing.

Switched from uTorrent to qBittorrent over a year ago, never looked back. qBittorrent is faster, cleaner, easy to use.

but that's what everyone does

Indeed, but some love seeding which opens up for more trouble IMHO

I'm probably in the minority, but I try to get a ratio of 1 before I remove the torrent. You know, pay it forward and whatnot. Unfortunately, when it comes to having a bunch of torrents and/or torrents with large file sizes, it can be pretty difficult to get that ratio to 1 with a max upload speed of 125 KB/s.

Microtorrent, eh? I always thought of it as Mutorrent.

Yep, though I have such a horrible upload rate that I can't seed so fast. Usually sticks around 15kb/s MAX. But I do keep it up, especially for those old ones that don't have much seeders. I never get to 1:1. Like ever.
Also my vpn kinda nerfs speeds as well but whatever.

I like to do my part. I don't even torrent often anyways.

i doubt people would want me to seed anyway with my shitty 12/24 connection

Anyone who uses utorrent in 2015 is silly. Get a lightweight libtorrent option like deluge or stop torrenting.

That why you use Transmission, there is no excuse not to use it since comes with almost every Linux distro and has been available for Windows(as Transmission-qt) and Mac from a long time now.
