qbittorrent has been my preferred choice for the better part of 10 years, ever since it was forked off of μTorrent (do not use μTorrent, it’s loaded with spyware). It’s open source, compiles on any operating system, and has fine grained tools for controlling your connection, very good for making certain your traffic stays secure. Transmission is a good alternative, less fully featured but it has a simpler interface if that’s important to you.
I’ve been using uTorrent for years and my antivirus never detected anything. I’m going to uninstall it to be safe, but how do I check that it hasn’t fucked my pc?
You just uninstall it. It doesn’t embed anything in any other software. I have no idea what’s in there at present but it has shipped with a crypto miner in the past. The alternatives are faster, better, and less skeezy.

Thanks for letting me know. Fuck crypto.
