uTorrent for OS X is bundled with adware. OS X El Capitan has System Integrity Protection to protect again adware and malware. About System Integrity Protection on your Mac - Apple Support


If you absolutely need a torrent client to download something legal such as a Linux distro, try qBittorrent which is open source. If you're having issues with iCloud or iBooks provide us some details or screenshots with what is happening.

I'd say about 95% of the time, torrent clients are used for illegally acquiring copyrighted material. We can help you with your iBooks/iCloud problems, but if you need a torrent client that bad, you should Google it. I know there are legitimate uses for torrent clients, but no one here can know what your intentions are for such a piece of software because hey, it's the Internet — you can easily lie.

Dialabrains assessment is indeed the case.

Transmission is the one not intentionally bundled with cr@pware by the distributor, but they did have their @$$e$ hacked and a securities Lab in Palo Alto had to tell them because they were clueless to that fact.

but if you are not using any torrent client to obtain the apparently smaller assortment of legally distributed software then the integrity of your torrent app choice will be the least of your worries.
