I like utorrent mostly because it allows for RSS feeds so that my shows automatically download. No idea if anyone else can do that.
But the crashing every day or two is annoying.

I couldn't get RSS to work properly in Tribler, but I already have an RSS feeder I use so I set that up to have torrents pop up. One click in there and Tribler picks it up for download. uTorrent's automation was better, but Tribler has been much more stable.
What is your specific use?
I don't leave it running all the time. I'm a dirty dirty leecher.

Yeah, me too. That's why uTorrent works just fine for me. Launch it, DL, kill it.

I launch uTorrent and leave it up forever.
But I have it set to only seed for 1 minute after DL is complete.

I launch uTorrent to grab a file, and once it's done DLing, I shut uTorrent down and then move the file to a new directory.

Ditto. Downloads ----> "Recorded TV." Heh. Yeah. TV.

I wrote a program that runs automatically and puts the new episodes into the following folder hierarchy:
TV
--ShowName
----Season#
BAM
And the RSS feed automatically downloads my TV shows, so I don't touch it.

I just skipped it thanks to this thread.
I think they changed the update name and snuck it in again. Any idea what the new update number is?

At this point I don't install any update unless I can find out from someone via google that it is not going to fuck me over. And I haven't taken the time this month, so I have nothing from the 8/11 updates or later.
Here's the updates from before that that I decided not to install for one reason or another. If you have any of those last three installed that might be the problem. If not then it's something newer I haven't seen yet.
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB971033)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2952664)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3035583)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3068708)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3075851)
EDIT: Probably not the problem with Win10 annoyances, but I'm also skipping KB307249 and KB3080149 (both from 8/11). They seem fishy.

Just ignore the icon? I have one there in the taskbar, but it doesn't do anything other than sit there.

Eventually they start popping up messages.

yes, I have now started getting these popups every time I log on. I'm a little tentative to upgrade because my system is running good and I don't like to mess with a good thing. But eventually I'm guessing i'll have to switch over.
How long is this upgrade free for?

This is exactly my reasoning. I don't typically upgrade "just because." There's a reason Microsoft is giving this shit away for free, and it isn't because they just really like us. My best guess is they are cheating to get market share so it doesn't smell like Win8, and they are somehow selling data.
But Win7 is working for me, and I don't need this, and I want it to not nag me.

Ah, I never login to my systems. They just stay logged in.

That's going to be a lot of updates to squash. Thanks, Microsoft.
