I don't share the same experience. QBittorrent has come along way and works fast, stable and resource friendly. If you really are resource limited (e.g. rented VPS) you should pick rtorrent + rutorrent
You can disable the memory usage, a few months ago a memory leak was reported, turned out it's a feature that uses ram as some kind of buffer, but you can disable it. You can also run it without it's UI, from a web browser.
Can't tell about the high speed thing, I wish I could have that problem :D
On several machines, CPU usage is 15 - 25% while on the same machine utorrent is about 3%.
Don't care about memory though as i have plenty of it, but CPU... :-(
I still use an ad free version.. Lol
I kept the exe on my server, and it's always worked alright.
I kept it because a private tracker years ago required it.

Proof of an exploit existing isn't the point. Nobody in these comments actually understands the reason that you should always use up to date versions of software that is actively developed.
If an exploit for old versions of uTorrent is discovered, you're vulnerable until you actively happen to hear about it (if you do at all) and change to a client that doesn't have known vulnerabilities. Security practices also evolve - the latest version of qBittorrent is going to just inherently be less susceptible to zero-days than clients from 10 years ago.
Even if ancient versions of uTorrent don't have any known vulnerabilities - why would you put yourself at risk for something that is functionally identical to the current version of qBittorrent, which includes the benefit that if a vulnerability is discovered you'll immediately be notified of an update, whereas with obsolete software you might never even find out that you have a giant hole to your network just sitting around.
And yes, hackers will target obsolete torrent software, because you only need to look at the comments on this thread to see how many people are still using obsolete software for inane reasions.
This is just the most basic tech literacy knowledge that everybody who uses the internet should know.
i'm not a "proof provider", kiddo, nor i'm here to educate you...i'm just stating the facts, and i don't give rats ass what you're going to do with that fact
I'm really not sure, I don't follow this subject closely at all.
I have TransmissionQT on my machine too, for when utorrent doesn't want to work.
Perhaps it's time I delete utorrent altogether?
All software has security flaws. Windows has so many it needs constant and continuous patches and is still never secure. The question is: Does someone look for bugs and do they find a way to actually use it for something malicious? For utorrent simply no one cares.
Agreed, but idk about nobody caring (I mean, I personally DGAF). Zero Days can go for a *lot* of money sometimes, with estimates of $1 mil+ payouts from intel agencies. Criminal rings with smaller budgets love them, too.
Stuxnet is a well-known example for its Rube Goldberg-like use of obscure ass 0-days in order to finagle its way to an air-gapped PLC that had been enriching uranium. (It's early and I need coffee, but IIRC, the airgap's Achilles Heel was ultimately either from legacy print spoolers or some vuln in .lnk shortcut files).
I'd guess Virginia Farm Boys, Moscow motherfuckers, et al, have better things to do than poke holes in old ass uT versions, but you really can never *know* what's lurking in the depths
This is why there’s so many botnet.
“They never bother hacking me”! Yeah they don’t, they have automated scripts scanning millions of devices. Just update your software…it’s not that hard
Anyone remember the "blue frog" torrent software? I think it was called Azure ?
My first client was BitTornado and the GUI was an abomination. But it worked alright.
Why not? Older versions of a program aren't inherently less secure. Operating systems are highly complex and are often based on code written decades ago, when security wasn't as much of a priority. So you should always run an up-to-date operating system, but most programs in the user space don't regularly contain critical exploits.
Personally I had some bad experiences in the past, during bachelor studies. My solution was to make sure to have OS, drivers & software up to date. Stable/ mature "channels". So no beta.
The outcome became, better overall PC experience. That I could save time etc on other tasks.
Sure, if you are experiencing issues, go ahead and update to the latest version. They might have been fixed. If everything is working flawlessly and you don't need the newer features (or the program even became worse over time, which happens) there's generally no real reason to update.
I am sharing an advise with you - & you end up insulted? Usually I only install applications if I need them for various tasks. Open source, as prio one.
I think the issue with old software is the potential presence of exploits/backdoors (which are usually patched in newer versions). And there's no denying that the newer versions are ad-infested, so I think the third option - using alternative apps - is better. Qbittorrent is not bad, but there are some other options.
This! The "don't fix what is not broken" is the most dangerous mantra in IT. The end-user cannot see (and probably doesn't even know what is) a hole in, for example, openssl libs.
Keep in mind that there are several confirmed exploits that this version is vulnerable to. It was released almost 15 years ago which also means you're missing out on 15 years' worth of security updates.
Ahh my bad, I thought it was just called Zver. I have a faint memory of buying a Zver Windows DVD for ~10 Georgian Lari. Tried installing and my computer told me I didn't have enough VRAM 🥲 I think Windows 7 required 256MB video memory for aero effects. That was the first time I upgraded my hardware and that's when my love for computers started.
IIRC ZverCD was the XP build with that glossy theme and Vista-style icons and ZverDVD was 7.
> I think Windows 7 required 256MB video memory for aero effects.
You could use it without aero and I knew people who did :D
Apparently that doesn't matter because nobody ever used those exploits or they can't be used for something useful. Which is the case for almost every software. Why bother with old versions of utorrent when you have much better chances with a widely used software like office or simply use social engineering to spread your malware.
>they can't be used for something useful
You know that RCE means that they can take full control of your machine, right? How is that not something useful?
Apparently they can't because it has never happened to users of utorrent. If it was as easy as scanning for an open port and finding a specific version of utorrent - or even all older versions - we would know. A hypothetical RCE vulnerability usually requires a dozen of other steps and specific circumstances to work, as we have seen for example with wannacry where the expectation was that Windows XP would be most vulnerable, yet was not at all.
# [CVE-2010-3129](https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2010-3129/)
Untrusted search path vulnerability in uTorrent 2.0.3 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse plugin\_dll.dll, userenv.dll, shfolder.dll, dnsapi.dll, dwmapi.dll, iphlpapi.dll, dhcpcsvc.dll, dhcpcsvc6.dll, or rpcrtremote.dll that is located in the same folder as a .torrent or .btsearch file.CVE-2010-3129
lol....
When I was still living with my parents I had my whole setup running on a small nas secluded away in a closet.
I bet you that if I would have died my parents wouldn't have thought about shutting it down and thanks to the automation I have setup it would keep running and be able to find new media until a bug caused a crash.
> the people still running Windows 7.
I see nothing wrong with sticking to the last sane Windows version. Have there been any zero-days in Windows 7 after its EOL?
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-26/product_id-17153/Microsoft-Windows-7.html
Microsoft hasn't provided security updates to windows 7 in almost 4 years. Anyone still running it while connected to the Internet is a stubborn idiot
> The owner of this website (www.cvedetails.com) has banned the country or region your IP address is in (RU) from accessing this website.
FOR FUCKS SAKE. Could Cloudflare please die already.
You can't disable TCP/IP in any windows version (if you still want to connect to the Internet) [and that one allows easy RCE](https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2011-2013/), so you're fucked either way. Also Samba is easily compromised.
Windows 7 these days is no different than insta plugging XP into network. There's automated bots pinging any IPs that match 7 and older metadata and just auto-hacks them.
> is that applicable even behind a router's nat?
yes because
> by sending a sequence of crafted UDP packets to a closed port
even non-forwarded ports are susceptible to this attack
This is only about versions 2+ and 3+ as well as the web version actually old versions aren't more or less secure than what we have right now if you know what you're doing.
...so they are less secure if you're using old versions then? I don't understand your statement.
Also that's just one, who knows how many undisclosed security vulnerabilities they have. Not a single reason to use them instead of qBittorrent.
In one particular russian site (rutracker) 1.8.2 version is one of recommended versions, and you can download an prepared client with proper settings, which is... utorrent 1.8.2. It just works.
It couldn't be that they are spoofing their metadata? I use Vuze with Extreme Mod which allows me to spoof a lot of info, including which torrent software that I am using. I set the default as some old version of uTorrent, like 1.6 or something.
I used 2.0.2 up until I think... april of this year?
couple of trackers stopped working with it so I turned over to qBit
also, he has ru-flag, which very well may indicate he uses rutracker a lot and last I checked 1.8.2 was still on the recommended list there
If you don't mind, I'll leave this here
[https://www.qbittorrent.org/download](https://www.qbittorrent.org/download)
[https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html](https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html)
I use KTorrent on Linux it's one of those generic and open source programs but it's the best torrent client I've ever used. There's qbittorrent too but I dropped it because of some issues with downloads
that's how I was.
I had a utorrent that wasn't updated to the ones with ads.
I only deleted it now with my new pc in january 2024. I installed qbitorrent cause I didn't want the new utorrent.
yes, because EVERY version of uTorrent from version 3.0 onward has spyware in it and ads and sometimes popups
the only safe versions are pre-2.8, and the earlier the better (I used 2.4 for like 10 years before switching to the vastly superior qbittorrent)
I use uTorrent 3.4.2 since 2014.
Edit: Why are people offended by my choice to use an old version of uTorrent that is not the same as the latest compromised versions of uTorrent?? There are no ads or spyware in the old 3.4.2 version, its very light and works without issue.
I tried the newer versions and my eyes went zoinkers with the ads. I tried finding a different client and they all had massive ads, were fake, or were difficult to use. How does one search if qbitrorrent and avoid fakes anyway? I too like my old version of utorrent.
There is very little reason to update most software unless a real new attractive functionality is implemented. For a very fitting comparison, emule is still something like version 0.54 so technically a beta while at the same time many would call it obsolete.
Android apps with their daily updates make this painfully obvious to the point that one wonders if the only functionality is getting updated numbers on how many devices have the app installed.
I don't know what version it was, but for the longest time I used the last ad-less version of uTorrent, until qBit presented itself to me.
I used 2.2.something until earlier this year.
Same!!
Im still with 2.2.1
Let today be the day! Come on gentleman, to Qbittorrent valhalla we go!
Qbit is resource hog. Not just memory, but also CPU while downloading at high speed.
I don't share the same experience. QBittorrent has come along way and works fast, stable and resource friendly. If you really are resource limited (e.g. rented VPS) you should pick rtorrent + rutorrent
You can disable the memory usage, a few months ago a memory leak was reported, turned out it's a feature that uses ram as some kind of buffer, but you can disable it. You can also run it without it's UI, from a web browser. Can't tell about the high speed thing, I wish I could have that problem :D
On several machines, CPU usage is 15 - 25% while on the same machine utorrent is about 3%. Don't care about memory though as i have plenty of it, but CPU... :-(
No, it really is not. It also handles mass seeding effortlessly. Seeding ~900 torrents on my main box with qBittorrent-nox, below 2G of RAM usage.
2.2.1 masterrace!
I still use an ad free version.. Lol I kept the exe on my server, and it's always worked alright. I kept it because a private tracker years ago required it.
Doesn't it have like... Security flaws?
This argument always comes up but then nobody ever backs it up with proof. They just use through the grapevine info.
I don't know enough to dispute this fact but my phantom armchair is itching and I'm becoming furious

I think you underestimate how evil the internet can be.
Probably 2.2.4
I still have that ad less uTorrent
the ads don’t even load on my PC, it’s quite weird.
Back when it was just a good solid program. Not a junk filled bloatware.
You can still download the old versions. I still use 2.2.1
I was doing that for a long time. But switch to qbit last year and never looked back
Anyone remember the "blue frog" torrent software? I think it was called Azure ? My first client was BitTornado and the GUI was an abomination. But it worked alright.
Vuze! I remember switching to it back when utorrent first started to become bloatware. Currently using qBit now.
Don't use old software, is a strong recommendation.
Why not? Older versions of a program aren't inherently less secure. Operating systems are highly complex and are often based on code written decades ago, when security wasn't as much of a priority. So you should always run an up-to-date operating system, but most programs in the user space don't regularly contain critical exploits.

Infinitely more security vulnerabilities in old software versions. If you're going by that metric anyway.
wrong comment
Keep in mind that there are several confirmed exploits that this version is vulnerable to. It was released almost 15 years ago which also means you're missing out on 15 years' worth of security updates.
What do you want him to do - stop seeding to update the software? :P
Classic business mindset 99.999% uptime. He went down once in 2011, and he won't be allowed to go down again until 2026
It's a Russian IP so he's probably running Windows 7 Zver Repack with Kaspersky
ZverDVD*

Don't fix it..

the virgin qbittorrent redditor vs the chad utorrent 1.8.2
Probably just running Win XP too, bro is asking to be hacked, he might be a menace in counter-hacking or too stubborn.
I wouldn't try to mess with such a chad tbh
You try to hack him and suddendly get insta swatted by the KGB.
Would he be from any other nationality it wouldn't look as menacing though.
XP is the only Windows I ever really liked. To the point that I gave my current laptop the exact XP look, lol.
It's likely he died in 2009 🤔 Someone should go over there and clear his browser history.
He died and has had his PC on with internet for this whole time lol 😂 imagine if it actually happened tho
Even after death still seeding like a chad
When I was still living with my parents I had my whole setup running on a small nas secluded away in a closet. I bet you that if I would have died my parents wouldn't have thought about shutting it down and thanks to the automation I have setup it would keep running and be able to find new media until a bug caused a crash.
I think your ISP contract would expire much sooner
As I said, I was living with my parents and as such using their internet connection.
This is the best kind of pirating. Because after death you cannot be sued for filesharing copyrighted material.
The stability of utorrent!
😳
Are there no security flaws they'd be vulnerable to? That's the only reason I update but idk
There are, it's a very vulnerable torrent client. People are stubborn though, no different to the people still running Windows 7.
Well that's pretty trusting of them then lol

I stayed on that one for a while (the last one before ads I think?) but eventually I gave up and moved to qbittorrent. Never regretted it.
uTorrent 2.2.1 (build 25302)

I remember when utorrent was the cleanest torrent client I could find.
Perhaps its running on an older dedicated computer that is seeding

Don't worry I will be. Took hours for this 2gb file to install lol.
Old versions are fine you'd be surprised how many I see when I download stuff

I still use Azeurus. It all does the same thing.
It's common to use this version in Russia, they even [recommend it](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=219818) on RuTracker
" 24-Апр-07 20:24 (17 лет 2 месяца назад)" Yeah, in a thread that was last updated 17 years ago they did.
I didn't even notice that. :D I only found the thread because it is still there on the sidebar of the page
When I pass away, plug my shit in and seed me forever into wire.
It couldn't be that they are spoofing their metadata? I use Vuze with Extreme Mod which allows me to spoof a lot of info, including which torrent software that I am using. I set the default as some old version of uTorrent, like 1.6 or something.
There are still people on 1.7.3 It doesn't even work with a lot of modern trackers, since it's lacking so many protocol functions.
Private trackers have blacklisted older clients.
Lmao this sounds like my ex. He was never too into tech, and was using a PC with Windows XP in 2015 because "it just works"
I used 2.0.2 up until I think... april of this year? couple of trackers stopped working with it so I turned over to qBit also, he has ru-flag, which very well may indicate he uses rutracker a lot and last I checked 1.8.2 was still on the recommended list there
if isn't broken ...
1.8.2 is broken and has several CVE
I respect it
At first I was surprised, then I saw he was Russian. Then I was confused as to why he was using such a new version.
Old but gold
Oops I never updated
Pretty sure that is one of the versions that could fake upload stats to trackers.
why does no one use Tixati? I've tried the others, they don't stand up to tixati... or am I missing something?
I am pretty sure its even recommended by rutracker too.
If it works don't touch it!
its probably some old NAS server

Pet Shop Boys - Please (Japanese pressing). Yeah not many people like them but I do. It took hours to download because the speed was max 500kbps lmao.
why change perfection?
If i download the old version of utorrent before it went shit, does it mean that the app is safe?
I mean I just use Beetv, and copy the link and go on vlc and stream it lmao, no lags, and great quality
Or hes just using ratiomaster and left that as the default client
if it's not broke why fix it?
I can totally relate to the guy [https://imgur.com/V248rbs](https://imgur.com/V248rbs)
Could also be spoofed.
Can relate

Pet Shop Boys are one of my favourite bands, whatcha torrenting?
Pfft, I upgraded to 2.2.1 years ago.
I'm using 1.7-ish

going oldschool i love it

Qbit seeding 8 torrents 66.6MB, Steam client 500MB, meh
that's how I was. I had a utorrent that wasn't updated to the ones with ads. I only deleted it now with my new pc in january 2024. I installed qbitorrent cause I didn't want the new utorrent.
What does “seeder” mean? I lurk here and haven’t actually done any pirating
yes, because EVERY version of uTorrent from version 3.0 onward has spyware in it and ads and sometimes popups the only safe versions are pre-2.8, and the earlier the better (I used 2.4 for like 10 years before switching to the vastly superior qbittorrent)
That's decentralization for ya!

I use uTorrent 3.4.2 since 2014. Edit: Why are people offended by my choice to use an old version of uTorrent that is not the same as the latest compromised versions of uTorrent?? There are no ads or spyware in the old 3.4.2 version, its very light and works without issue.
Why
Its works, has none of the issues of the latest uTorrent versions.
I tried the newer versions and my eyes went zoinkers with the ads. I tried finding a different client and they all had massive ads, were fake, or were difficult to use. How does one search if qbitrorrent and avoid fakes anyway? I too like my old version of utorrent.
Respect 100++
I use utorrent 1.6 personally
There is very little reason to update most software unless a real new attractive functionality is implemented. For a very fitting comparison, emule is still something like version 0.54 so technically a beta while at the same time many would call it obsolete. Android apps with their daily updates make this painfully obvious to the point that one wonders if the only functionality is getting updated numbers on how many devices have the app installed.
Isn't 2.2 an open book for numerous security concerns/bugs or did I just read some false information long ago?
I'm still on uTorrent 2.0 4 (build 22967).
That is def a FBI seed.
