Posted February 13, 2016 uTorrent used to be great - it was one of the first really good Torrent clients... But that was a long time ago. uTorrent is shit now, with all the potential issues with it. There are far better clients that are also free, open source, and have no ads, such as Deluge, etc. For Sale: Meraki Bundle iPhone Xr 128 GB Product Red - HP Spectre x360 13" (i5 - 8 GB RAM - 256 GB SSD) - HP ZBook 15v G5 15" (i7-8850H - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD - NVIDIA Quadro P600) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to sound ignorant, but who the hell uses torrent for something other than pirating?

It's a bit excessive for sharing to a few people but a hundred or a thousand? Brilliant. If the seeders are good, it's better than expensive hosting.

Posted February 13, 2016 3 minutes ago, Superdoge said: I guess that makes sense. It is kind of pointless for a few friends. Thumbs up Well, I'd say it's possible to do it even on such a small scale as a couple of friends (albeit somewhat inefficient and there are quicker ways to share on that scale) but the whole P2P model, particularly its efficiency, scales extremely well with the amount of users (if people seed). That's why it's being deployed by many companies (and individuals) to distribute software and/or software updates. I've personally made torrents for Android roms. Users get to download the files faster and more reliably than with free/cheap hosting. When downloading files (large files in particular) you run the risk of corruption, so the torrents can help by having a parity check which pretty much ensures the file is intact and if you have a slow unreliable connection, it can be a tremendous help and also, you can pause the download at any time with no loss of data and resume at any time, so there's convenience too. It's a very powerful tool hence its popularity and success in piracy but it should not be written off as a piracy tool only nor is it in real world scenarios. I don't know the ratio of total use in legal and illegal uses of P2P. Although I guess I'm going past the scope of torrents since torrent is not equal to P2P, more like torrents are a subset of P2P.

Posted February 13, 2016 If your torrent client has ads and wants you to pay to remove those ads, then you shouldn't be using be using that torrent client. Switch to Deluge.

Posted February 15, 2016 They all fall into the same trap eventually. I remember Azerus being small, lightweight and ad free for years, then they switched to yuze and it became a buggy, broken & bloated mess almost overnight. Who even remembers Azerus/Yuze now? MicroTorrent has been getting steadily worse for a while now, the last straw was when it froze up my PC then after I rebooted Windows Defender went crazy with notifications about μTorrent.exe being infected. Since then I've used Deluge and have no intention of using anything else.
