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!
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)
I did when i first started using it. no idea when i switched to calling it utorrent.
