um. what the fuck? gotta wonder, next thing they'll probably think of is to make uOS: A Tiny Bittorrent Operating System.

seriously though, what's with cramming all those features in a p2p client when they can't concentrate on what matters on each useless useful feature that way?

really don't get all these feature bloating these days.

Who pays for a media player?

Don't overestimate people. I am sure there's someone out there who thinks this is a deal of a lifetime. This is why I stick with the old versions of µTorrent.

[NinjaHamster]

Perhaps the folks at uTorrent have too much time on their hands

more like who pays for a media player yearly?

If this is their way of competing with vuze then i'm not sure what i can say about it... vuze still has more features as a bittorrent client, iirc.

I've stopped updating utorrent a long time ago... And now I'm using Deluge as my main client.
Seems like the team at utorrent have forgotten why people loved utorrent..

I'm still using version 2.  I can't imagine how ppl will flock to the next tiny (300 KB tiny) torrent client from the bloated thing utorrent has become

only reason i'm not on deluge on windows is it's dependencies. is that good in windows?

[dogsinafen]

I use deluge on my linux machines.

Windows I use utorrent 1.8.5

Most of my downloading is done on my linux machine. Deluge has been going strong... seeding 500+ torrents.

^ using whatever utorrent becomes, so long as it doesn't give me anymore headaches as it does now then i'm sticking to it for a little while longer. might install a different torrent handler on my i3 though =P any suggestions?

PS: who the hell needs those embedded stuffs on utorrent plus for not free? you could practically get those stuffs for free though not embedded.
handbreak = free
avira/AVG/MSE = free
MPC-HC+LAV/CCCP = free

[Kyrdua]

I'll just assume their target audience are the hapless, bittorrent newbs who ask "how do i download torrent"?

works, theoretically. until you realize these same people would use a torrent client to get a commercial media player, antivirus, and transcoder...

[vuzedome]

How do I google how do I download a torrent.

[Supai]

Who pays for a media player?

The type of person that is willing to pay $1000 for virtual goods (in a video game). 

[kitamesume]

^ i do that, lol i think i've wasted about 500$ just on a single game, though selling those accounts got my money back with a few profits~

I'm not talking about totals, I am talking about $1000 EACH.

[Ultra_Magnus]

My only issue with deluge is the mac version is awful.

works, theoretically. until you realize these same people would use a torrent client to get a commercial media player, antivirus, and transcoder...

Or use uTorrent, to download uTorrent plus...

[Tatsujin]

gonna turn off updates for utorrent. 3.0 is enough, don't need those extra shitty features.

[Kyrdua]

^ uTorrent Plus is not 3.n . it's a separate, "paid version" with features that shouldn't be in a torrent client (IMO).

haha, yeah. that was mentioned in torrentfreak.

You have to make money somehow.
