When I switched to qbittottent I was able to transfer my progress from utorrent since the data was compatible. Around the time I over utorrent was starting to serve ads.
I'm boggled by the idea of a person who is savvy enough to know about lemmy but still uses a dogshit, customer-hating client like uTorrent. Use Qbittorrent, it's been the best for a solid 15 years. When you were annoyed by the ads, you should have immediately gone looking for a different client. The learning curve between torrent clients is a flat line.

Don't use uTorrent. Use transmission, qbittorent, or deluge.
Or skip torrents entirely and use soulseek. Or Usenet.
But not utorrent.

Seriously. You quit using some streaming service because they gave you ads, so you use a bittorrent client that has ads?
Plenty of good ones out there that don't. Open source qbittorrent being my personal favorite.

Usenet+soulseek is the way to go imo. I only use torrents as a backup these days.

Yeah check out uTorrent ads instead! 🙄
It used to be a good downloader. Now it sucks.

You're in luck: qBittorrent still works great. No ads.

I honestly thought it was criticizing utorrent

Who still uses uTorrent in 2026? I thought everyone jumped to other clients about ten years ago.

Yeah, didn't it use your CPU to mine bitcoins?
I use qbittorrent, probably 10-15 years now, but moving mostly to NZB.

Yeah I thought it was well known since like 2016 that utorrent mined crypto
