So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.
I didn’t think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They’re both just torrent downloaders.
Holy shit was I wrong. I don’t even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don’t even understand how.
A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.
Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

I tried grabbing Qbit and all I could find was malware. I used to be so so good at navigating all this stuff and stopped to stream for a little. ☹️
What OS do you have? If Windows, it is available in the Microsoft store.
Let’s be real, that’s the last place anyone would look for a torrent client
Emerge -v qbittorrent
sudo apt install qbittorrent
sudo pacman -S qbittorrent
flatpak install org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent
sudo dnf install qbittorrent
How tf you managed that I will never ever understand…
I am not a clever man.
winget install --id=qBittorrent.qBittorrent -e
Scoop install qbittorrent
choco install qbittorrent
scoooop!
yay qbittorrent
The official website with downloads is the first hit on Google…
Doesn’t sound like you were looking in the right places
The best executables with malware actually perform the function you expect them to.
You’re not wrong but that’s not the point here. QBittorrent doesn’t have malware which means they got it from the wrong source.
