uTorrent is great, but it seems like they have been going against what made them so attrative in the first place (minimal torrent client). Every version they release gets bigger and bigger and although it hasn't become a problem yet, I'd be nice if they just branched off a 'minimal' version with all the big fixes when the program does get bigger and use more resources. But so far it's great!

It's still only 154kb and extremely light on resources... I'd say "micro" still describes it perfectly well.

I've been using BitComet for a while, and I thought it was good until I just downloaded uTorrent, and holy hell...

On the same torrent I was getting MAX 15kB/s with BitComet and now I'm getting an average of 70kB/s with uTorrent, and it keeps going up...

I've been using it 10 minutes and I love it already...

BitComet has been uninstalled...

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
