Im more of a fan of rutorrent, but between these two, qbittorrent definitely. Utorrent is not as relevant anymore honestly.

qbittorrent, because it's open source and not trying to sell you anything or try to sell your data
People seem to be comparing qBitorrent to latest versions of Utorrent. The older versions of Utorrent (2.04,2.21) are perfectly fine to still use, are light weight, have NO ADS, and still accepted at vast majority of private trackers. Both Clients are excellent for Windows based OS. I use both of them with great success!
added: The only main problem with older version of Utorrent is that is not really safe to use the Web UI feature...
μTorrent is completely trash after the owners changed, if I compare between qBitTorrent(latest) and μTorrent 2.2.1 (old version without ads etc) for this reason so many trackers block connections using μTorrent newer than 2.2.1
If you want an liteweight torrent client then you better use μTorrent 2.2.1.
μTorrent is so liteweight that does not effect your computer use and the power consumption.
From the other hand qBitTorrent is not lite, slowing down the pc, increasing the power consumption. It has coding faults and bugs on various ports of it. I always keep it up to date but there is always a bug.
