As a long-time user of uTorrent I was surprised to find it the cause of my excessive CPU use. So bad in fact I could barely play SolSuite with uTorrent running. I killed uTorrent and my CPU usage went back to normal without the periodic spikes of CPU usage that would last about 30 seconds each. Could be the fact I'm running it in a VM but it's never done this before.

Pros
  • Best in class for torrents
  • Easy to use
  • Skinnable
  • Free
Cons
  • High CPU Usage
  • Ugly default icon scheme
