Could you elaborate on the potential presence of a Bitcoin miner in the popular torrenting software uTorrent? I've heard rumors that some torrent clients have been embedding cryptomining software, but I'm unsure if this applies to uTorrent specifically. Could this pose a security risk or a threat to my computer's performance? Are there any telltale signs or symptoms that I could look for to detect if such a miner is indeed present? Furthermore, what steps can I take to ensure that my torrenting activities are not being exploited for cryptomining purposes? I would appreciate a clear and concise explanation on this matter.

To enhance the performance of uTorrent 2.2.1, it is recommended to set the temporary folder on the fastest available drive. This can be a dedicated drive for optimal performance.

Once the torrents have finished downloading, it is advisable to have uTorrent move them to your main drive for easy access and organization.
