It has come to light that the latest version of uTorrent, the "widely recommended" torrent client is bundled with a bitcoin miner that will heavily stress your computer. Usually this wouldn't be a problem for discovery at all, but as we have recommended the torrent download for 4.88.1 in the release thread, it does matter.

As such, I invite you to ensure your computer does not have the software "Epic Scale" installed. If it is, uninstall it.

I also personally do not recommend uTorrent at all. Since they have been bought the program is constantly being bloated.
We recommend a free open-source alternative, qBittorrent. You can download it here: http://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php (Stable - SourceForge).
