    I’ve tried most of these clients, but I keep going back to the old uTorrent 2.2.1 (the newer versions are indisputably awful). I find that it still has the best UX to date. On nix machines I use qB.

    Edit: Warning: newer versions of uTorrent are malware. I recommend people pick a different client, as uTorrent actively tries to trick people into downloading the newer versions.

      I haven’t updated utorrent since 2012 and I’ve never noticed any differences. I have it setup how I like it and it works.

        Yeah, 2.2 was like 2010 IIRC. It looks like they’ve since released a 2023 “2.2.1” to trick people in to downloading the updated spyware version.

        Incidentally, this is the kind of behavior why I never personally recommend it to anyone I know.
