μTorrent is pronounced "micro torrent" for all of you plebs out there.

Son, is this your first encounter with the Internet?

Actually it's pronounced "mu-torrent". The weird u shaped thing is Greek letter "mu".

... Which is the commonly used prefixed pronounced as "micro."

Get fucked nigger.

i dont even... what?

people still use utorrent?

i thought we had all collectively moved on to deluge by now...

No. It literally is pronounced mu. Not micro, like your penis.

is it better ?

Hmmm, one of the design goals for this product was to make as small as footprint as possible. I wonder if "small" is synonymous with "micro" ??

>not 2012
>still using utorrent

micro like your penis

Pretty much, is the same program a little outdated but without the fucking obnoxious adware.

This, unless you have over 1000 torrent you have not a single shit to be doing in this thread.

Also, seed the damn things.

>The author of µTorrent wrote in 2005, "I usually say 'you torrent' because it looks like a u"

good enough for me. youtorrent it is.

Most first world countries prosecute for copyright infringement.

no, his friend was just a bitch boy.

im in a first world country

oh look, it's one of those alternative facts I hear so much about.

>seed the damn things.
Spotted the cuck

>SimCity 4
>Talk with friend

lets get real here OP.

Does it explain how Bernie might still become president?

Quads, must be true

I play sim city from time to time. Mods too.

You realize you won't get fucking sued for torrenting shit right?

Worse case scenario your ISP gives you a warning. I know Comcast and Verizon has a 3 strike rule or something.

Isn't Deluge Java-based?

When I tried it several years ago, I launched it, and with zero torrents loaded, just sitting there, it consumed a noticable amount of CPU.

No thanks.

I like my pre-bullshit version of uTorrent.

I did too but recently I changer to a different program for torrents and got two DCMA? Notices. So I'm going back to utorrent

you can "upgrade" your utorrent client to a pre-shitware state by just visiting a website

most first would countries protect your privacy unless there's a lawsuit

It's Python.

I find deluged to be fairly lean, it's just the UI that's bloated, which only needs to be open for managing the torrents. When I have ~500 seeds in the background, it uses an average of under 1% of one core of my CPU, with spikes to 15% now and then, when I'm serving over 100mbps (I have a gigabit connection).

You get DCMA notices when the copyright interests find your IP in the swarm for a torrent they are watching.

Note: EVERY torrent client reveals your IP, including uTorrent.

DMCA -- not DCMA.

>download the botnet bitcoin miner utorrent

I got a letter from HBO when I downloaded an episode of game of thrones.

Actually is pronounced botnet

I use qBittorrent. It works just fine for me. What do you guys think of it?

And HBO got your IP from your torrent client.

I haven't tried qBitorrent, but a fair number of people at one of my trackers like it well enough.

its pretty good, i had some connection issues on it though but its probably just me

that or they torrented it and seeded it just so they could view your IP in the peer tab

I've been downloading shit. Never got a letter. Feels good man.

Also, I used muyoumicrotorrent.

thats not the point. your ISP has to reveal who's behind your IP in order for them to send you a letter

your ISP is shit, and you live in a shit country

All of my keks

He's actually correct but misleading. Yes most first world countries prosecute for copyright infringement. No most first world countries don't do it often.
It's usually a one off every now and then to scare the shit out of people to spend what little bread money they have left on circuses.

>your ISP has to reveal who's behind your IP
That's extremely difficult to impossible. They can only indicate who pays for the connection and possibly what machine was using it at the time. It can't indicate the user who accessed it.

yeah by "who" I meant your address
