Trusted Alternatives to BitTorrent?

[(PeteCresswell)]

My instance of Bittorrent keeps on updating itself to the latest-and-greatest
version - in spite of my having turned that feature off.

This is causing me excess stomach acid because who knows when somebody will
slip in a version that reports things that nobody who uses Torrents would
want reported?

Bottom Line: Can anybody recommend a trustworthy alternative to BitTorrent?

Looks like Linux.

My bad, should have specified Windows in the OP.

Does anybody have a suggestion for Windows?

Years ago I would have recommended uTorrent but it's become too ad filled.
Try Deluge.

You can disable the ads in utorrent - Google it.

Utorrent is fine, just stick with an older version like 1.8.4 , and turn off
any auto upgrade.

Even up through 2.2.1. Starting with 3.0 uTorrent (the micro symbol
probably wouldn't come through) went downhill fast.

Absolutely.

I'm using 3.4.7 with ads suppressed. No problems.
