It's like the Vuze I am used to but without all the annoying stuff!
No ads, no third party offers, actively developed
Very nice, informative GUI which eats a lot of RAM and causes to freeze the application regularly. (On my machine sometimes almost 4GB). This is not for mortals like me. This should not be a Java app.
I see no reason to use this instead of qBittorrent.
I've been using Vuze (formerly Azureus) since its early days. Unfortunately, this client is not being updated for several (years) time and no body answers.
BiglyBT's team (I hate that name, sorry, but) is taking the best from Vuze Core, polishing, cleaning, bug fixing and open sourcing everything. I've been using it from some days and I'm completely happy with what they're doing and how they're making great features work again. Fast, clean, simple, full of great plugins and features, open source, add-free, and with somebody who answers and solve problems.
Old Azureus successor with no ads.
BiglyBT disadvantages:
Humm. Myself, I disabled DHT from the options menu. Plugins -> Distributed DB ( azbp dht )
I don't know about the upload limit reset thing. By chance to you have the setting under options for Transfer - Auto Speed enabled? Maybe that could inadvertently mess it up.

BiglyBT is the revived Vuze, minus ads and bloatware. Vuze/BiglyBT is one of the most powerful and feature-rich torrent clients (and also quite RAM-hungry) with a complex interface that you may either love or hate. The developers are available on the built-in chat for bug reports or support.
