uTorrent alternatives

Same experience.

I also use this, I haven't updated for months and still works like a charm, just switch update notifications off??

Well you can, but you might miss out on security updates?

How could I have been exposed, what potential security threats do I open myself to by using a bit torrent client?

I'm no expert, but an app that connects to a whole lot of random IPs over the internet? Could contain a few potential security holes.

I'm sure it could but what exactly?

I've yet to hear of an attack via a clean/legit bit torrent client using a security loophole?

You are not wrong, and honestly I don't have the time nor patience to look through the change logs to see if they fixed anything security related, I would just rather play it safe than sorry.

BitThief. Cause I'm a d*ck like that. Also technically I'm not doing anything illegal.

What is bitThief, a client that does zero seeding of files?

SABnzdb & Transmission hooked into Sonarr

Ooh that looks Interesting.

Deluge.

yeah, Sonarr is fully customisable with NZB indexers and uTorrent clients.

I basically just add a series I want to watch (with the quality profile/language I want) and it'll take care of finding the episodes and downloading them.

I've setup everything via DynDNS so that I can control stuff when not at home, comes in handy when I'm overseas and the drive is running out of space.

Transmission

I use Deluge or Transmission (the former is cross-platform) but the latter is too (I believe) but not on Windows (I think, there is a port somewhere but it is unofficial I think).

Windows version is on the official download page

 

[diskette]

Ah sorry. I was wrong then.

 

[rorz0r]

Deluge with sonarr. Never had much luck with sabnzbd but I used to use it. I assume it's because I don't have any private indexer accounts etc.

qBittorrent + SABnzbd + Sonarr + CouchPotato + Jackett.

The Windows build has always been a bit sketchy for me.

But haven't used it in at least a year.

Thank you for the info, will check it out when I have some time.

how does one actually get on a private tracker torrent site?
