µTorrent's been packed with a bitcoin miner in the installer before, don't act like your pile of shit is pure.

os x version safe?

>>56369562
OS X version's the only one that was infected. You're only affected if you installed it during a certain period of time on the 28th though, and even then it's only if you downloaded a fresh install. Updating from an old version would just install the new virus free version.

>>56369466
Oh, utorrent? The one that is literally classified as adware and bundled a bitcoin miner? Fuck off.

So their website got compromised. Multiple times. If you're using such a shitty OS that you have to manually navigate to a website to download an installer and the key pair used to sign a package can change between releases without so much as a warning, then you've got bigger problems.

The rest of us are unaffected.

>>56369604
That said, though, I am paying close attention to how they address this. I gave them a pass the first time, but their communication will determine if I abandon ship for rtorrent or something.

I did hear they're moving their site to github, which should alleviate some of the security burden. So that's at least progress.

>transmission on linux
>qbittorrent on windows

Come at me, bros.

thankfully i downloaded transmission the day before this shit and i'm not infected (i checked). Im tired of these transmission bullshit stories. What should i use instead on os x?

this is pretty ridiculous. everything is getting infected with some kind of a malware left and right.

No, use Deluge,

>>56369716
I might try deluge, I don't torrent that much on windows, desu. Anyway, I thought deluge was java-based, just noticed it's not, will definitely try it.

>>56369747
>>56369754
>>56369770
Deluge is also open-source like Transmission so it will probably also become infected.

Use uTorrent, which is managed by professionals.

Transmission is way more stable than qStalledmeme.

Gee, I wonder

>>56370086
And how would I use it in a dual boot machine, greentexting shitface?

Seriously, these retards that jump into the threads thinking they know better than everybody else piss me off.

>>56370118
As a matter of fact, I've seen transmission crash a couple of times in windows, while qbittorrent hasn't crashed so far.
The time frames are not equivalent, though.

>>56370111
>>I don't get why people don't just use qBittorrent.

Because it's a buggy piece of shit that freezes, stalls torrents, doesn't fully shutdown and keeps your OS from shutting down, has I/O errors, and can't handle too many torrents.

There's no official Windows port. There's only an unofficial port and an official alpha version which is very buggy.

deluge looks like poo-poo on windows
plus for some reason, the download speed capped @ ~2,5mbps for whatever reason
plus it completely shits itself if seeding more than 1000 torrans

Why? this only affects people who use crApple, and therefore it doesn't affect competent users.

Also uTorrent is well known for it's security issues, such as installing bitcoin miners, advertising & peer flooding vurnabilities. it's the least recommended torrent client in the world.

Mactards BTFO once again.

That's what you get for not using signed package repos, botnet cuck.

Thanks for the malware, freetards

this is what happens when you use FOSS programs. what a shit head. Other than knowing how to code the program at a intermediate level, you guys can't do shit.

This is why closed sourced is the best. No way to infect at all unless the creator intends to

I switched to Deluge from uTorrent 2.2.1 two years ago. No regrets.

So what. I download porn and software with it. I don't stare at it constantly. It's good at what it does and that's all I care about.
