Mitigations

Just use another torrent client. Deluge and Transmission etc do not have this vulnerability.

Was wondering what the takeaway is here. I updated to 5.0.1. Does that fix all these? If not, guess I’ll try a different torrent client.

I have a lifetime subscription for Windscribe, so I’ve just been using that with no issues for years. I’ve recommended it to some other friends and they’ve been fine.

I also pay for Proton services, so I have ProtonVPN, but I’ve yet to try it for torrenting.
