uTorrent has a 0 day exploit in it. Whats the best alternative?

Apparently Googles 0 day project has found uTorrent to have a 0 day exploit and it has not been fixed.

They have a fix/patch

 

But yes, I use qBitTorrent myself.

I've been using qBittorrent. It's about as close to as the original uTorrent before 3.0 as I feel I could get.

utorrent is by far still the best, just use an older version. I use 2.2.1. The newer versions are garbage.

qBittorrent is the best and also junk/add free.

Sorry but I also posted this. It has been patched. Ahh, just realized this isn't in Tech News.

Thanks it says the stable version is not patched yet but they have a beta version that is apparently patched.  So I downloaded the beta

 

Would rather a crash than have a security risk

 

Hopefully we can get independent confirmation of the fix.  Intel said they patched their issue then Linus Torvalds revelaed the patch was BS.

seriously who uses uTorrrent? it's crap since v3 with all these shitty ads and "apps" and bloat stuff

qbit rules.

Personally, I've been using Deluge. Its an open source client.

 

μTorrent is dead to me, the garbage ads and stuff were just too much.

[HandymanHandy]

Use WebTorrent

This... I have been using Deluge for nearly 5 years now. Still use it to this day.

I just rent a cheap server for my torrents, then use Jdownloader to grab them.

 

I hate utorrent now due to the ads, and I rather pay for a server than pay to remove something that once was not there.
