Well, not several times.

uTorrent for Windows: 2.84 MB https://www.utorrent.com/downloads/win

picotorrent.exe: 3.98 MB https://github.com/picotorrent/picotorrent/releases

picotorrent also seems to come with a language pack while you download uTorrent's separately at 1.3 MB. Not that I think it matters.

Also, don't forget to include any ads or malware that might download with your next version of uTorrent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CTorrent#Ads_and_malware

macOS Transmission : 10.6 MB macOS Slack : 185.8 MB

But it must be noted that Transmission doesn't support animated emojis.

uTorrent from the actual uTorrent era, e.g. 2.2.1, is 394KB, so, yeah, it is in fact "several times."

I am using Flud on Android, wonder what library it uses.

I've found it to be best, not tried transmission on Android tho.
