Use qbittorrent instead. Open-source is the future

Also they should switch to Linux

You shouldn't be using BitTorrent or uTorrent. Go with an open source alternative, I like qbittorrent, transmission is also good.

Hi there. I had a similar issue with uTorrent a while back. This happened because I had cleared out my temp folder and it got rid of some license files that were being stored there for some reason. Weird stuff.

Anyway I fixed it with a reinstall of the same version. If you haven’t give that a go.

the issue is you're still using uTorrent, switch to qBitTorrent

The C: at the start of drive paths indicates that you have installed malware from the criminal organization Microsoft. All jokes aside use qBittorrent.
