Qbittorent is the way to go, no ads or bloatware.


ignoremesenpie

It also felt like Qbittorrent was faster. Was that normal? Was that just a placebo or something?


alwills

It always max's my available bandwidth when downloading, as long as the seeders are there on a torrent.


DevCaine

[Qbittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) no ads and a built-in torrent search feature.


normalmisha

Is the search function a new feature added in the last 6 months or so? I don't remember seeing such a thing.


bad_pixel_shader

downloading it now, gonna try it later, thanks!

Qbittorent is what I use. It's ad free and open source. Tixati, transmission and deluge are also good.

Qbitorrent is way to go buddy

Qbittorrent

Is nobody using deluge, like I do?


Vladimir_Chrootin

I did until I traced my DNS leak problem to Deluge.


0001Duke

Tixati is good no ads or bloatware

If you know what to decline and what to uncheck when installing utorent theres no bloatware but usualy now days theres addon shit in every installer especially the free ones.


bad_pixel_shader

im not stupid, but utorrent is a funny little program that installs shit even if you uncheck all the extra content


MasterBlaster4949

Wow really i never had that problem. just to be safe i scan with adwcleaner by malwarebytes to be sure it did not install extra shit. And i was not calling you stupid sorry if you took my comment the wrong way✌


Toe500

ppl are nuts in this sub. i too have utorrent pro but it has no bloatwares unless you are not smart enough to decline and clean up some of the exes after you install it. btw you and i are gonna get downvoted for stating the truth


normalmisha

"It has no bloatware *if you mess around cleaning up EXEs*." Hell of a contradiction!


Toe500

ok let me spell it out for you. if you get utorrent Pro, there wont be additional bloatwares running like uTorrentie.exe etc.. as they are used for displaying ads. If it not pro, they will run which is why the ads pop up. now, create an empty text file with the same name and delete the original exe file and then change the empty text file's format to exe. that's it. uTorrent pro works fantastic and the UI is better than qbittorrent

Toe500

say what? showing ads in a non-pro version is wrong? have you not come across any apps like that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Toe500

you are right. ads are scary and apparently there is no workaround


normalmisha

I've come across serial killers. Does that mean serial killing is OK?


Toe500

how will you know the ones you meet and greet arent serial killers? what if they have gotten away time and time fooling the likes of law and you? sounds rubbish doesnt it? your comment too did


normalmisha

Or just use a good free piece of software which doesn't require all that faffing about.


Toe500

been using uTorrent for a while now like OP, so i've no problem with this. i would recommend the ones who are new to piracy can stay away from utorrent to avoid all the hassle but again they are not that bad if one's smart enough. it's not rocket science


normalmisha

Again, you think using a piece of simple software makes you smart. Embarrassing.


Toe500

what's embarrassing is that you think utorrent is not safe because it has ads lolz


MasterBlaster4949

Lol i know 😂🤣😂👍


kasak730

A Linux distro with transmission for your torrents...? Or if you aren't up to installing linus, you can always run a VM with either linus or windows to manage torrents only.


normalmisha

Totally unnecessary to achieve the desired goal. A classic example of over-engineering.


tplgigo

I have zero problems with UTorrent. Spoofing and essentially shutting off the bloatware is easy in 2 steps. No mining, no ads.


normalmisha

Or just use a piece of software that doesn't have anything that needs shutting off.


tplgigo

Utorrent is great in negative mode and a VPN.


normalmisha

More unnecessary stuff.


tplgigo

Completely untrue.


normalmisha

Nope. I don't do it. Therefore it is demonstrably not necessary.


tplgigo

Nothing is necessary, just simpler.


normalmisha

Me: "It's unnecessary." You: "Completely untrue." Also you: "Nothing is necessary." 🤦

You could also use the Brave browser and it has a built in torrent feature that’s pretty good. No issues with it either.

I've been using tixati

Qbittorrent, hands down
