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?
Yeah i ditched utorrent years ago when the installer started being full of shit and adware apps. qbittorrent was how it used to feel
Man I remember that update. I did hear about it pretty quickly so I never actually downloaded it, but I saw screenshots afterwards of people reacting to seeing the ads and shit, and found qbit to be basically the same thing with a slightly different skin.
I still prefer the look of the old uTorrent (I’m assuming it’s very different now) though.
But I stopped using torrents probably within a month of that happening. Haven’t messed with piracy since, but things are looking… inevitable.
