BitTorrent 3.3 / other torrent programs
So I "upgraded" to BitTorrent 3.3 a couple days ago, and found out that the thing is full of spyware, and has the annoying donate page thing on it, which pisses me off, also you can't control upload rate or anything, it seems like it is utter shite.

I was recommended NovaTorrent by a certain thieving clown, what does everyone else recommend?

Also, those who have used this 3.3, how have you found it?

The official Bit Torrent 3.3 download is fine if you get it from the official site, but there are some bogus ones floating around which are riddled with spyware.

Taken from there FAQ:

Does BitTorrent contain spyware or adware?
No, BitTorrent contains no spyware, adware, or any other kind of -ware.

Some warez sites are distributing spyware-wrapped versions of the BitTorrent installer. Please only download the BitTorrent installer from this site. I'm considering legal action against sites which misrepresent their hacked installers as the official one.



http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html is where I got mine from, assuming nothing has changed in the last 2 weeks this should be spyware free.

Hope this helps mate.

Let me guess, it was off a pop up ad?

There have been loads of threads on their forums about it, so you aint the only one affected mate. Apparently Suprnova have no real control over the ads which are on their site, or so they say anyway

Wait what... BitTorrent is going to take legal actions against websites that load their program with spyware? I have no idea, but I would assume that BitTorrent isn't exactly the most legal-friendly program in the first place anyways, so that strikes me as odd.


Anyways, yeah I upgraded to 3.3 too and it was shit. I use NovaTorrent now and it rules.

The program itself isn't illegal because it's just a program to download files. Same deal as Kazaa. The only illegal thing is downloading the stuff.
