Not really… but Utorrent does have a few bugs, which never get fixed because the admin tech of Utorrent is a prick power mad punk that lives in his mother's attic and plays video games all day long when not insulting anybody who has a suggestion or question. If you go to their forum and search the posts of Dreadwingknight, you will see what I mean.
When utorrent doesn't work, I use either Vuze or Transmission QT (for Windows)
-
I've never encountered any problem using utorrent.

Vuze is a very powerful (feature wise) and customisable client, to the point it can become too complicated even for users knowing a bit about torrents. They got three levels of GUI options, therefore. It requires the Java Runtime, which is known for having frequently known vunerabilities.
Transmission was for long time the client of choice for Mac OS X users, but when µTorrent for Mac got "stable", I've seen many to change to it.
qBittorrent is running rather well on Windows, Mac and Linux. I just miss the Start/Stop and Force Start options in the version I use, which isn't the last stable available.
rtorrent/rutorrent is frequently run on Seedboxes and servers, it is a commandline client (rtorrent) with a graphic userinterface (rutorrent) accessed from your web browser and as far as I've seen (but not used) similar to µTorrent in look.
Other clients which get sometimes recommendations are Deluge, Tixati and BitComet. In the past we had mainly users of BitComet plagued with leaked passkeys (a few cases in total over years), though the developers on their forum say it don't exchanges torrents if set private … sorry, had not the time to test.

I use uTorrent mainly on my PC. tTorrent on Android, that's where I usually seed
-
Don't forget that Transmission and qBitTorrent are both also available for Ubuntu. Ununtu actually comes with Transmission pre-loaded, however either are available through the apt repository with one of the two following commands:
sudo apt-get -y install transmission
or
sudo apt-get -y install qbittorrent

Bittorrent is put out by the same people that do utorrent. They look and function exactly the same, but they are coded differently. utorrent is faster for some reason.
I don't use Vuze enough to comment much about it, but I recall that in the past, everytime i started using Vuze, I stopped because of various issues.
Some torrent clients are much more aggressive in finding peers than others. Some torrent clients are banned by various torrent sites. I'm not thrilled with any of them. I wish there was a torrent client which would disguise the ip address of the local computer whether it is seeding or leeching.

The one thing I will say about Vuze is that in my opinion, Vuze is the devil's tool and should be avoided like the plague lol

I use qBitTorrent on Windows 10, and it works fine

I haven't used Vuze/Azureus for years. It got so complicated that I gave up. Like so much software people fiddled with it because they could.
I want a client where I click on a torrent and it gets it. I use uTorrent 3.0. I saw there were problems with a couple of the later versions so never updated it.

utorrent for me.
