Post by: MCD on December 07, 2012, 04:14:50 AM

Open uTorrent

Update

ADS EVERYWHERE

So I read this article: http://torrentfreak.com/top-10-utorrent-alternatives-120819/ and picked up qBittorrent as my torrent client.

I use Vuze. It's a bit bloated, but I've never had any problems with it.

I've been using Tixati which is okay but I think there's probably better out there. Basically just want the old u torrent.. I don't see why that's asking too much, it doesn't seem like rocket surgery and there seems to be plenty of debs making these things.
