utorrent has been going downhill for while (packing adware, gaining bloat) and now they announced that it will become real crap soon (paid version, seriously?!), what is the best alternative that is lightweight and has good features?
EDIT: No Vuze (Azureus)

Well, that's the last we should be hearing from Lucy man. She's probably stuffing herself down the incinerator about now. You know what we need? We need some opium.

Vuze clearly had to be on those options.
It may not be lightweight, but is by a long shot the most complete and advanced client available on the market.

utorrent is becoming like Vuze and that is what I'm trying to avoid.

Halite would be my pick. Sadly, it hasn't been updated for a year now.Originally Posted by dogcodeo6
Is qBitTorrent any good? Never got around trying that one.

but unfortunately the private tracker sometime force us to use a particular client and it cant be ruled out utorrent is widely accepted, simply don't update it, stay back to anything but version 3.XX and any future

These BT client wars are so dumb.....
I run utorrent 2.2.1 on my home server computer, which is a 10 year old machine I trash picked last year.
I've never once seen it crash, gui is great, low resource usage, connection maxed, great internet management integration.
Really just download a legacy version and turn off update notices....

The same argument as above I use utorrent 1.8.4 on a 64bit windows system, it is stable, uses minimal system resources and is fast. I only slowly kickingly upgraded from 1.6.1 when all the 'fake' security holes were announced and most trackers refused to accept the client any more.

Deluge, I like that its cross platform and has a move storage feature that saves a lot of time.

+1 for an older version of uTorrent.
+2 for old uTorrent version. I haven't updated my client in a year now, and I've yet to have any problems on any tracker. The new version might go downhill, but older versions have not. And since uTorrent has been listed first on all the tracker FAQs of acceptable clients, I don't see it getting knocked off anytime soon.
