Piracy

Wow, really? Source?

Classic cryptomining malware smh 😑

Man I remember that update. I did hear about it pretty quickly so I never actually downloaded it, but I saw screenshots afterwards of people reacting to seeing the ads and shit, and found qbit to be basically the same thing with a slightly different skin.

I still prefer the look of the old uTorrent (I'm assuming it's very different now) though.

But I stopped using torrents probably within a month of that happening. Haven't messed with piracy since, but things are looking... inevitable.

Try Transmission, it looks more akin to other mac apps as well

Idk what the issue is on macs as QT should work on macs just fine, maybe issues with libtorrent?

Nothing wrong with Deluge

Deluge is fine. Mainly the take away is that no one should be using uTorrent. It's been a terrible piece of software, at best and likely malware , for what feels like decades.
