UT has been garbage for some time. I reckon the data it uses to send your info back to them and to load ads, bogs down the network, especially on slower networks. The last time I used it, there were also graphical artifacts all over. Qbit on the other hand, is much cleaner and simpler to use, and it doesnt add any unwanted network traffic, which is why it's probably faster

I tried grabbing Qbit and all I could find was malware. I used to be so so good at navigating all this stuff and stopped to stream for a little. ☹️
yay qbittorrent
What OS do you have? If Windows, it is available in the Microsoft store.

I found qBT to be missing features utorrent has, and thus I stick with UT v2.2, which is the latest recommended one before they started making controversial changes. I've never had any issues with utorrent's speed.
What features are those?
I checked real quick and the setup guide that changes all the settings according to your internet speed, and the ability to stop torrents when they meet the goal. Qbt can only pause or remove them. Pausing leaves you connected and anti-piracy groups get your IP and submit complaints, and I don't want them automatically removed. There may be more.

I prefer Transmission, as they have Windows ports as well.
Transmission afaik does not have a built-in search functionality with plugins for popular trackers
That feature makes sense to aggregate search results from multiple public trackers, but if you (like me) use private trackers then it's almost always easier to just go to the actual website for your search. Not to mention any automation software such as the *arr stack make that feature obsolete. It's definitely a cool feature, but not useful for everyone.
