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.

Not updated since 2012? How is it not full of security holes?

No, if you did update it it would be full of security holes.

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.
