Looks like it's time to give Deluge another try. uTorrent started out great
then they started bundling in malware and now they're adding in advertisements
- as if they need the extra cash in the first place.

I can't claim that I was the first to have this thought, but I will post it to
provide a possible positive counterpoint:

If these adverts are for legitimate, legal torrents, their addition to the
client could greatly increase the fraction of torrent traffic that is, well,
legal. This would help put an end to the "all torrent traffic is illegal"
argument for throttling and blocking used by ISPs and governments.

So perhaps this is a ploy to make some advertising money, but with a subplot
of ensuring torrents keep working the way they do.

Er, I thought it went crap after 1.6.1!!!!!!!

IIRC, and please forgive my terrible memory, something happened with ownership
or the main programmer "selling out", which caused a lot of worry about
privacy, etc. I believe that 1.6.1 was the last "safe" version in relation to
that.

And for years I stuck with 1.6.1

Whether or not is was utterly wasting my time, I really dont know!!!
