Windows won't let me install utorrent

Trying to install uTorrent to grab some Linux ISOs and Windows Security blocks the installer as a potentially unwanted app. Is that a real concern with uTorrent, and is there a cleaner client people use instead?

defender flags the utorrent installer as a potentially unwanted app because of the offers bundled into it, so it blocks it - that's what you're running into. you can allow it from protection history in windows security, but qbittorrent does exactly the same job without the junk and windows doesn't argue with it.
