Reasons to ditch Utorrent for Qbittorrent
Utorrent is a 32 bit app - which does not utilize memory well; it is highly prone to disk overloads; it locks up and crashes - a lot, requiring a lot of re-checking; it randomly loses associations between the torrent files and the actual files downloaded; it is a memory hog; it runs background "utorrentie" tasks in the background for advertising purposes.
With that said.. I would say that Utorrent is still the 2nd best torrent client there is.. but Qbittorrent is now the best.

@lololulu19 I forgot to mention that Utorrent quite often locks up with "not responding" errors.

I was wondering if it was just me because I have an older system, but apparently not. -
@lololulu19 I have uTorrent 3.4.8 (32 bit) on a 64 bit system and it's never given a problem--no crashes, no errors. It uses about 4% of my processor/2% of my memory, and I don't see any other processes running such as "utorrentie." Maybe their newer or beta versions have some added features, but I have no complaints about my current installation.

uTorrent 2.2.1 is the once top-rated, popular file-sharing program before it was ruined by bundleware and bloat.
Utorrent 2.2.1 build 25302 is the best version of Utorrent as it was before all the ads and other sketchy things added to later versions. -

Let's not forget that they secretly included BitCoin miners in their program in some of the v3.xx versions until they got caught.
