Has anyone even used uTorrent in the last decade?

Edit: Apparently, unfortunately, yes

you would not believe how common it is. It's like making a class of highschoolers take a colorblindness test. There's always ONE who had no idea

sidenote, it's really sad how the education system won't even spend 10 minutes a year to diagnose something that effects millions of children. There's FREE websites that they can just open on their board or projector

I remember on Reddit I'd see like a post a month from some uneducated pirate person asking how to fix a utorrent issue. It was fun watching them try to justify using it with all the other legit, updated clients. It didn't ever go well for the OP.

I mean if they want to use it despite being told the state of things then who cares? There’s nothing to win here, it’s their pc

I couldn’t care less if someone on the internet sabotages their files because they want to be right 100% of time

I used 2.2.1 well into the last decade. Every version after that was either pointless or full of some sort of malware.
