A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

      uTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25154 is good. There’s a few builds of uTorrent that are fine.

      But yeah, qbittorrent is the default “why didn’t you use it?” client.

        It’s good in the sense that it’s the last version before it got enshittified by ads, but the now nearly-legendary v2.2.1 is also 5 years behind in security patches. It was an awesome, fast, stable client and I miss it, but I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Like you and everyone else has been saying, OP should be using Qbittorent.

      Which would your suggest? It’s been a long time since I’ve had to do a little pirating.
