I found best solution with good programs is to turn off automatic upgrades, for example my utorrent stopped at v 3.3.1, Avast I’m steady on 2014. There’s not much to tell really, qBittorrent’s feature-set and options closely resemble those of uTorrent, in fact the developers make that point quite clear in the intro on the home page: qBittorrent – Free, Open Source, & Cross Platform I’d read favorable reviews concerning qBittorrent so already had it in mind as an alternative, and I have not been disappointed.

I’d always thought that I’d manged to avoid all of uTorrent’s additional baggage, so imagine my surprise when a recent Malwarebytes scan turned up 5 registry entries associated with PUPs all related to uTorrent. I’ve been using uTorrent for years and have watched as it has gradually yet inexorably deteriorated – certainly not in terms of speed and efficacy but definitely as far as integrated bundling and advertising is concerned.

There are plenty of bittorrent clients available and uTorrent has arguably been the most popular of them all.
