BitTorrent says upcoming uTorrent update will feature ads

[Dustyn]

They do?
I guess I forgot that I use software to block them.

Do we have a good alternative? Something that isn't above 20 MB-s before installed, and knows magnets?

The current client is a 876KB download

Oh it's quite a bit bigger, 876kb is after some heavy UPX compression.

I'm appalled. To me this is totally selling out and represents a complete lack of integrity. I resent the idea of being subjected to advertising while I pirate sh1t. Shocking!

psshh the last bittorent update embedded bing deep into my search address box on my browser even though nothing was check marked. They can suck it.

I stopped updating uTorrent when they introduced browser-like crap in the software, aka 3.0. Sad to see it's continued to get worse.

I hope this will spark another lightweight torrent client to be developed. Using an outdated torrent client doesn't rest easy with me, but I refuse to upgrade if it means unnecessary bloat.
