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

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.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 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/
