I said do not be surprised because I am an observer by nature and I have noticed this in you since your return to NF... Finally, it's good to know that I'm not rusty...

ShawnMiranda Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 uTorrent Pro. The added features are bloat but just not having ads and having material design makes it so much better. If you don't want to buy it you can find a cracked version on TPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaG Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Quote Your Favorite Torrent Program I know you are talking about programs like uTorrent and bit torrent but most important when torrenting is a good VPN with no slowdowns for p2p traffik! 22 hours ago, mona said: Aren't we talking in this thread about users' FAVORITE apps and not just a full array of available programs ?

I Am Negan Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 The trouble with VPNs is the download speed get so slow sometimes. And when you’re downloading something that’s in the gigabytes it really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am Negan Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I generally use WinScribe. I got good results once with them while using my Torrent program. But a lot of the other times it was like dialup speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 11, 2018 Administrator Share Posted February 11, 2018 As much as I recommend qBittorrent - I have been pushing for it since the time we have it listed on FP. But couple of days ago I saw this and got a bit worried about it. It's not that this has not happened with other clients, but qBittorrent I believe has done with me before too. Still, it's better than others overall I think. Also guys, please be respectful. No need to bring gender in this or to being rude about it. As for softwares in Appdata directory, I agree. I hated when first time I saw Chrome doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzenfreund Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Regarding portable as opposed to install versions, I also prefer the former. So I first tried the portable version of qBittorrent. It seemed to work, but I was occasionally getting funny behavior of the kind described by DKT27 above. It also kept bringing out updates that weren't as easy to implement without disturbing my settings and torrents. So I reluctantly went over to the installed version, and the problems disappeared. As for security, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem with Windows 10, touch wood (famous last words!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u mean APPDATA folders I totally agree with you, and i'm pretty sure this behavior is to "easy up" the auto updates and "NOT" ask for permission to update, I do understand why, this allows apps to be updated even if the user doesn't have admin rights. But this is for sure a bypass of security, they should simply promote a change request to Microsoft to allow software to auto update even when inside "Program Files" folder or even better, the creation of separate folder that would allow that and that could only be used by signed/authorized software.

Radpop Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hard to say which is favorite if I only have tested torrenting. Sometimes I've used Brave browser built-in program to download Libre Office as torrent. Brave also supports torrent streaming. Brave is a browser I install one day and uninstall it next day. Better than Firefox but not good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'm using anything that doesn't have Pro or Advanced or Extra or Premium in it's name. If anything, then qBittorrent on Desktop, no messing around with firewall, making files read.only or hosts blocking or other headaches, i have no use for torrents on mobile or any other platform. Install & Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
