What are possible states that uTorrent can still work in?

[Aleksbgbg]

For example, I probably can't download in hibernation mode but can I download in sleep? Screen off? etc.? 

 

Always wondered  :rolleyes:

 

Thanks

Only possible when it's fully powered on.

 

Also, Tixati is better than utorrent.

Only when the PC is actively running, so on or when the screen only is off.

sleep no, screen off yes

Don't use utorrent please. It's malware.

 

Use Qbit torrent or Deluge.

It supposedly installed other software on your PC for their own profit.

No issues indeed, but if you want your PC to be used by them without you knowing about it and without you giving permission to do so... Feel free to keep using it.

Your internet connection must be on. Hibernation and sleep close all connections and shutdown drives. Locking, screensaver and full on are only ones that will work.

 

And to best torrenting software. I really like qBittorrent. After going with uTorrent, Bitcomet, Bittorrent, Deluge and Transmission.
