Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrent
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?

My apologies. I’ll be discontinuing it’s use after this project is done.







Duplicates may not be an issue for you, but they are for me. First off, I have limited storage. Secondly I want my Plex library to be nice and tidy.





It’s been a while since I’ve used those. I didn’t want duplicates of everything either, so I decided to start over.




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




I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.
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...
