What's a good alternative torrent client, that doesn't have all the crap of above.
(Shame uTorrent used to be pretty neat)

uTorrent 2.2.1
There's really no need to be upgrading from that one and new client versions often cause issues / are banned on some trackers.

I've just installed the latest uTorrent on my 2nd pc. After turning off all the usless windows in the options menu the ads are gone.

Re: Now uTorrent is full of Ads & spam...
There is about 5 places in the advanced settings where you can turn off the various ads. Google for utorrent ad removal or something like that, a few sites have all the settings you can change to remove the ads.
I'm assuming you can still turn the ads off, not actually used utorrent for a while as I don't use windows.
