The main reason I've stopped using uTorrent is a huge drop in the download speed and at the same time interface works terribly slow when you download any files. It might take 10 secs to minimize/maxim... See more

For some strange reason, it downloads some applications unrelated to utorrent. Plus, you don't see the app installed on your desktop. I just saw the unrelated one. But overall, if you know how to mana... See more

Most of the people do not understand…

Most of the people do not understand what is Utorrent. They think it generates viruses or malware. But the thing is Utorrent only a downloading tool that helps to download all available documents online. The viruses or malware are not installed by this tool. You downloaded all those things by using these tools from another protocol. You should blame those people who uploaded that malware online that you have downloaded using Utorrent. They got some ads on the tool that also can be the reason for the virus but they can not control advertisement. An Ad publisher never knows when which advertisement will show up. If you think that they should stop those flashing ads then why they will give you free downloading software tools. I think you should make your own downloading system so that you can stop blaming the wrong person. I am using Utorrent for about 12 years but never faced a single problem that happened with this tool. The only possible damage can happen if you keep seeding downloaded files then day by day your hard disk can be slower and after a certain time, it can stop working. That's it nothing else.

App full of viruses

I've tried to download an app and got a trojan virus which completely destroyed my OS. I do not recommend you using this website.

It used to be good.

I have been using UTorrent for over 15 years now.
I had a working vanilla version, due circumstances I had to get a new version; not only are they trying to shove some annoying programs, it keeps flashing popups.
A shame really. it used to be good.

uTorrent used to be a good program

uTorrent used to be a good program. It sucks s.hitit now. It's clunky, a resource hog and the interface is garbage. It went from being one of the best programs to being one of the worst. Too many tweeks or something, I used it for years, but would not go near this garbage now!

Steer clear unless you want to factory reset your system

I, along with many others, tried to install the cleanest version of utorrent. Unfortunately the cleanest version of utorrent has multiple background processes associated with the file utorrentie.exe. These background processes will continue once utorrent is closed and must be manually ended through task manager. Additionally, lavasoft software, which acts primarily as bloatware / adware, is forcefully installed alongside utorrent regardless of the options picked. Under this pretense I would highly recommend users treat utorrent as malware and factory reset their system.

Very disappointing for now

Was thinking about switching to pro version, but will keep away from utorrent for now. Couple of years ago it was the best app in its class but now it really gone bad. I have it installed on 3 of my PC and utorrent behaving itself very unstable - it constantly keep freezing, very slow, i cannot leave it for downloading at night - its just crashing after couple of hours of downloading. And it's all happening even when i leave only 1 torrent for downloading\uploading. Very and very unstable for almost a year now...

Piece of $hit

I've used this software before, and it was acceptable, but now it's A BIG PIECE OF $HIT!!!!! I will tell you why, and maybe the developers of this software have ears. on MAC they switched from app to an web browser GUI, on Catalina, behind Linksys wrt1900AC and Pi-Hole, doesn't work! but FOLX works with no problem. maybe ,you guys from utorrent team, should ask the guys from FOLX how did they manage to make it run. thanks for nothing a$$h0les!

Riddled with spammy add-ons.

Used this years ago, downloaded again tonight from the utorrent site. Declined all the extras and installed the most bare-bones version I could. It immediately tried to add a bunch of browser add-ons upon launch and I got bombarded with spam. Removed and never using again. Garbage.

Absolute garbage

Absolute garbage, it use to be so good some 5 years ago, don't use it.
There are open source small and no bloatware alternatives.

13 years of uTorrent usage ends today

I've been using uTorrent for nearly 13 years. Basically, it was a part of my introduction to the online world. I used it daily ever since. I noticed how it slightly got worse over the years - more ads appeared, etc, but I didn't care.

But today I have finished my last download and deleted this thrash called uTorrent Web. Everything had been said before me here. I just must add that it just doesn't look like a torrent client. It's just visual garbage, and there's nothing to be loyal to anymore.

It allows you to "play your torrents" directly in the browser and displays a huge online player which takes 95% of your screen. So you have to scroll down to get the access to the actual list of your torrents. No one in their right mind will watch their downloads in the Google Chrome tab (yeah, uTorrent web exists only as a Google chrome tab, that's an additional spoon of feces). But still this stupid player is ALWAYS there and you can't get rid of it.

Separate gratitude goes to "Trending videos" section on the right, which you can hide, but it always appears again. Terrible and useless spamming.

Bye uTorrent

Welp, after 10+ years of using uTorrent, I have officially deleted it. I HATE the web version. It is SO SLOW and and garbage compared to the old version. I honestly can't stand using it (and I've really tried to like it). Looks like they will be losing a lot of customers. BYE
