On page 9 of the user guide it talks about downloading the ISO torrent, and it says "If you run Windows, you can use uTorrent". It should suggest an open source torrent client instead, not uTorrent...
It should probably be qBittorrent.
(Also it would be nice if the manual had some kind of link for submitting comments like this to the maintainer(s))
user guide should suggest open source not utorrent

Re: user guide should suggest open source not utorrent
i agree the suggestion should not be utorrent , however i have used qtorrent and found it to not be satifactory, i use frostwire, it seem more friendly
Re: user guide should suggest open source not utorrent
uTorrent is by far the most popular torrent client on Windows (according to alternativeto.net). It is more likely that people that use torrents already have uTorrent than any of the open source alternatives. That may be a reason it is in there.

"Transmission or uTorrent" where, perhaps, Transmission is a hyperlink and uTorrent is not.

Re: user guide should suggest open source not utorrent
Sure, but that doesn't really matter. In the manual it is under the heading "Install a Torrent client". If the user is already a uTorrent user, they don't need to install it. So this part of the manual is directing people who don't have a torrent client to install uTorrent. I believe Mint should be promoting FOSS when it canxenopeek wrote:uTorrent is by far the most popular torrent client on Windows (according to alternativeto.net).
