Is uTorrent still a viable option? Or is there something else you’d recommend?

5 points

uTorrent has bundled a cryptominer with the software in the past, so they are untrustworthy. I’d recommend using qBitTorrent or checking the megathread for other options.

I second this. Used qbit for years and can confirm it’s amazing.

uTorrent version 2.2.1 I believe is the last good version of it.

Avoid uTorrent and use qBittorrent instead (not to be confused with BitTorrent, a client by the same team as uTorrent)

qBittorrent ftw. It is open source and is being maintained and developed.

I would recommend getting a seed box with Monero (seedboxes.cc) and accessing that via wireguard VPN…which seedboxes.cc offers. Easy.
