A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...

People still use that malware of a client???

uTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25154 is good. There's a few builds of uTorrent that are fine.

But yeah, qbittorrent is the default "why didn't you use it?" client.

Which would your suggest? It's been a long time since I've had to do a little pirating.

qBitTorrent is one of the standard clients.

Thanks! I'll give it a go after this is all done downloading.

Tixati, Deluge and Transmission are also good, modern clients

A lot of the private trackers I use specifically block its usage.
