With well over 125 million active users a month uTorrent is by far the most used BitTorrent client. Until now nearly all revenue came from the toolbar which users can install optionally when uTorrent is first downloaded. However, BitTorrent Inc. sees the need to experiment with other revenue sources with "sponsored torrents" being added for all users in an upcoming release.

This new build will display a featured torrent at the top of your torrent list. This featured torrent space will be used to offer a variety of different types of content. We are working towards bringing you offers that are relevant to you. This means films, games, music, software...basically anything that you will find interesting.

I haven't tried it, but you could give it a shot, transmission port for windows.

or Dulunge or qBittorrent. All are recommendations by my friends, I personally haven't tried any of them. I don't pirate much :D
