A few days ago, it turned out that along with the popular uTorrent torrent client, the EpicScale utility is also installed on the computer, which uses the computer to mine bitcoins. And although the developers have already apologized and removed the utility, user confidence has been undermined. We decided to choose five torrent clients that will compete with the popular uTorrent.
The uTorrent torrent client is used by tens of millions of users around the world. It was one of the first utilities to download torrents and has become the most popular for its simplicity and convenience. However, over time, other clients have appeared that are no worse, and in some aspects even better than uTorrent. The latest news has eroded user confidence in uTorrent, and alternatives are needed even more than ever before.
Transmission
Transmission is one of the most popular and most user-friendly torrent clients for Mac and Ubuntu. The utility is very easy to use and has everything you need to download and then distribute torrents. Transmission is free and the developer can be thanked with a donation.
The unofficial version of Transmission for Windows can be downloaded here.
qBittorrent
The client works on all desktop operating systems: Linux, BSD, OS X and Windows. Out of the ordinary: the utility can be controlled remotely via a web interface, as well as search for torrents on the most popular trackers. Development of the client continues, the last update was on February 23rd.
Vuze
Vuze is not only a torrent client, but also a media combine in one application. With it, you can search and subscribe to torrents, run them directly in the utility, and send them to any connected device, including iOS and Android devices, as well as PlayStation and Xbox game consoles.
The utility can be downloaded for free or purchased a paid version without ads and with built-in antivirus for $ 29.90.
Deluge
Like the rest of the clients, Deluge looks terrible. However, it does not take this. The utility is multiplatform (there are versions for Linux, OS X, Windows and Unix) and is more intended for advanced users. The client supports a huge number of plugins and allows you to set a password for login.
uTorrent 2.2.1
The old version of the client, released four years ago, is useful for those who are used to uTorrent and do not want to change it to another utility. uTorrent version 2.2.1 does not contain advertising banners, has the required functionality and, importantly, does not install any third-party programs.
