Any and all issues that seem to arise within uTorrent seem to all lead back to the user.It's not uTorrent, it's YouTorrent
Don't you think that paying for pirating is a bit silly? You might as well buy the software. The whole point of piracy is, y'know, "not paying" for anything.
I would imagine a large portion (if not most) people that pirate don't have to worry or just don't care about bans/suspensions/warnings, whether they be from Universities or ISPs. I would also imagine a vast majority of people who use torrents don't care about seedings, since they only want to get free stuff, not give free stuff. Sure, seedboxes may be a good choice for some people, but recommending it for people who may just download the occasional TV torrent is silly, in my opinion.Aide from the fact that piracy is sometimes the only choice when looking for something that vanished eons ago, or that paying a couple bucks to download is generally better than paying anywhere from $20 to a few hundred to download, my home internet is part of the university's network, which monitors all torrent traffic and hands out bans/suspensions if it even suspects the content's illegal; the most I've successfully downloaded via torrent locally are a few Arch or Mint isos, and a wallpaper collection. If I want to download illegally, I have a handful of options:
A) do it locally and hope no one notices
B) download from a slow and shitty free file host, chunk-by-chunk
C) hope someone uploads it to MEGA
D) anonymize traffic through a VPN
E) pay $15 a year for a very low-end VPS with a provider that lets me use it as a seedbox
E is the most efficient choice, and also allows me to seed beyond what I'd otherwise be able to.
When I do download torrents, I just leech, I never seed because seeding is said to be more risky than downloading the file itself, so, to hell with seeding.
For a lot of people like me, whose upload speed is 1/24th their download speed, they wouldn't last long.Maybe on public trackers. People need to stop downloading crap from pirate bay all the time and get on a real, private, ratio-based site. The benefits are immense.
That's really a major misconception. I have 100mbps download and 4mbps upload. I've never once purchased a seedbox. But I'm an elite on IPTorrents, BroadcasTheNet, and What.cd (which is basically the hardest tracker out there). There are tons of freeleech torrents (download doesn't count but upload does) and it's really not too hard to upload your own stuff and maybe fill some requests. It's not hard to get invited if you follow the proper channels and study for interviews. People just aren't willing to put forth the effort to increase their security and the quality and speed of the torrents they download.For a lot of people like me, whose upload speed is 1/24th their download speed, they wouldn't last long.
The best free antivirus is common sense. Don't click on ads, and pay attention to what you're installing. Also, this particular "virus" shows up as a regular program, so just go to your program list and uninstall.So, in the event of being infected, what is the best Free antivirus?
I'm using AVG (with the ads removed), and it appears that is cannot detect it

Though a later update from the original source in our post shows that it is no longer detected..

Ah. I only scrolled down enough to see it show up in Programs & Features then closed the link. Revo Uninstaller would probably work well with it.

Because everyone who wants to use those has the means or money to join those private trackers. Got it.
As I mentioned earlier, people grossly overestimate the requirements of staying on those trackers. Just read my previous post.
