So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.
I didn’t think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They’re both just torrent downloaders.
Holy shit was I wrong. I don’t even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don’t even understand how.
A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.
Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

I call it mutorrent
I always thought that was what everyone said, as that’s actually how it’s spelled. I wasn’t even aware it was called different by some or even most people, although I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised as I can imagine many people not knowing the greek alphabet.
Yeah, it’s kind of weird. Always assumed it as well.
You’re not alone brother. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I did when i first started using it. no idea when i switched to calling it utorrent.
what is that
The “u” in uTorrent is actually [greek letter mu](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(letter\)), which as a SI suffix is pronounced “micro” and means one millionth (10^-6)
