Don't use uTorrent. It's a scam.

This has been the case for at least like 15 years. Baffles me that people still don't get the memo

    What baffles me is why anyone still uses torrents when we have Usenet and Debrid services. Why wait for seeds, when you can just get a direct download of the exact same content at your internet connection's maximum download speed?

    But it's worth it, because having Debrid/Usenet allows you to steam anything you want instantly. Can't do that with torrents unless the file is heavily seeded. Meanwhile I can stream anything I want at anytime. For me that alone is worth the cost. Plus like the other person said, you could spend hundreds on multiple steaming services, or you could spend $3-10/mo and watch anything you want in a single app like Stremio or Nuvio.

    Yeah, as soon as ads started popping up I knew shit was going downhill.

    I'm glad qbit has held the line so far, but I'm always spooked to download the newest update for fear that it may be the one that introduced AI or some other bloat.
