    uTorrent is an application, torrent is a protocol, zip is a file format. You’re comparing apples to oranges to zebras here.

    Anything that downloads slow is because there are few seeders and they have bandwidth that is either limited or saturated.

    I personally gave up on torrenting when 80%+ of them wouldn’t start downloading even when there were apparently many active seeders. I still pay for my vpn just in case, but I haven’t even had a client on my machine in over 18 months and I can’t recall when I fired it up before that.

    I just pay for streaming services. All I really miss is the blu-ray quality.

      I’d buy Photoshop and Dreamweaver 2020 editions once.

      I’m not paying a subscription.

      I pay for Microsoft 365 as the integration on Windows is seamless. Just make a onedrive folder my default folder for an application and it’s already backed up, easy! And I can access it from any device in at least 5 minutes. Easy. I literally pay for onedrive storage, so the office applications are a awesome side benefit.

      If I wasn’t a onedrive user, I’d pirate office applications as well.
