    First thing you should always do is to ask your cock-sucking mum if she
    is still alive. Some people have lost their mum due to drug overdose.

    Next, if she can't answer or she is not available, you should download
    this tool and run it on your machine. It might not run on your XP but
    try it anyway.

    You don't need to register anything to download uTorrent from its official website. But the current v3.5.5 no longer works in XP.

    For Windows XP, use the older 3.4.8 version (long URL warning).

    <https://www.afterdawn.com/software/network/p2p_clients/utorrent.cfm/v3_4_8_build_42548>

    Alternatively, use qBittorrent.

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/qbittorrent/

    Personally, I prefer uTorrent. But some private trackers bans uTorrent.

    A one byte hack and that's removed. uTorrent respects the
    "private" flag some idiots put in torrent files. Most private sites
    were then closed, so you could no longer download because of it.

    <ABUSE_REMOVED>

    I agree with " Good Guy ?", though I prefer an earlier
    version.

    http://www.oldversion.com/windows/utorrent/

    Go with uTorrent v2.0.4_build_22450. Later versions were
    adware and quite intrusive.

    I use it to download my Linux Dists (as does Good Guy ? when
    he's not flogging illegal copies of Win 10).

    A hex edit would probably do it. It's not encrypted (it's
    UPX,-- just un-UPX, hexedit and then re-UPX ).

    A quick look and it appears it's kept as
    2?.?0?.?4?.?2?2?4?5?0 where each "?" is "0x00h 0x00h"
    Not tried, I'm rather proud of my 2.0.4 out there in the ocean
    of other ones. Though I do see an occasional 1.6.
    WTF would I call it? uTorrent 3.5.5? Ugh !! It would have to
    have =< amount of digits, or it would mess up the calls. Best for
    privacy(?) would be a "most used useragent" like we do with browsers.
    If it's not a simple edit, I can re-debugger it for you. That
    snippet was from 13 years ago.
