Yeah I stopped using uTorrent a while ago. I got sick of going into settings and manually disabling ads. I use qBittorent, since it's the only one offered by Ninite.

I use Tribler for torrents with anonymity turned on.

Ik where you can a great collection of freewares that can fix / configure / analyse your pc

GeGeek, tho it is a donationware but you are paying the person who bundles all free softwares for his time and commitment to the project, right now it contains over 700 programs which is about 10gb after you updated everything

It also includes useful links and browsers / antivirus to install.

Anyway

Google Chrome is bae, and dns jumper too

uTorrent doesn't track you, but they do bundle a bunch of shitware in the installer. Just have to read it carefully instead of just spamming 'Next'.
