PSA: utorrent includes cryptocoin-miner in latest update. Don't use it.

[lefty]

Already full of bloatware, uTorrent finally jumped the proverbial shark by including a hidden cryptocurrency miner in their latest update that you cannot opt out of.

Switch to qBittorrent, an open source (like VLC) alternative.

Not updating this ever.

I stuck with the 2.something version until I found a Windows build of Transmission. There are better options.

I remember when that shit was called azureus and it wasn't full of crapware.

I thought it was funny reading how pretty much every Windows freeware site, from CNET to MajorGeeks to SourceForge, was filled with crapware in all their installers.

[Cry Havoc]

I use qbittorrent and have for a while. uTorrent became shit pretty quickly with it's bloat.

I really like not torrenting anymore.
