So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.
I didn’t think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They’re both just torrent downloaders.
Holy shit was I wrong. I don’t even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don’t even understand how.
A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.
Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

Among other things, utorrent uses your CPU for some kind of crypto mining scheme.
No joke
Wow, really? Source?

Maybe, doesn’t mean I’ll ever use utorrent again
Try out qbitorrrent. You just might like it better
Or Transmission. Or Deluge.

Classic cryptomining malware smh 😑
I was utorrent user and now utorrent feels bloated and I think I need to start move on. So, qbittorrent is the answer
Years behind the trend, uTorrent is dangerous.
Yeah i ditched utorrent years ago when the installer started being full of shit and adware apps. qbittorrent was how it used to feel
Qbittorrent really showcases why open source software really is peak software performance (or the potential of it)
Is deluge no good? That’s what I use.
Nothing wrong with Deluge
Deluge is fine. Mainly the take away is that no one should be using uTorrent. It’s been a terrible piece of software, at best and likely malware , for what feels like decades.
