Adblock didn't do it in the beginning either :) Just like utorrent became popular because bitcommet became slow and clunky. Have you looked at utorrent lately?

Ugh, don't remind me. That was a great piece of freeware before it went sour. :(

But, there are many many alternatives these days: Deluge and qBittorent are both pretty decent uTorrent replacements.

This is business as usual: fed up with bloatware, one individual make a simple software that does the job, then said software is acquired by a company and now has to make a profit thus turns into the reason it was made in the first place.

uTorrent was great because it was optimized to be small and fast: a single exe file upx'ed.
