Skype drains my phone battery, I don't like it.  I'd like to have it on all the time, but I don't want to recharge my phone everyday :(
try viber?

Substance Designer 2 is about the least intuitive piece of software I have ever fired up.  Mind you, I have only looked at it twice so maybe in time it will become less frightening.

On my telephone, I don't like the programs "Cell standby" and "Phone idle".  Together they use up 80% of my battery power.  "Voice calls" is a bit annoying as well, it used 21% of my battery, that's 1% more than the full capacity of the battery.  Damn bloat.

Outlook takes decades to load up.

I needed Skype mainly because my mobile phone provider was offering free Skype communications.  Nobody is on Skype any more, everybody I know has more free minutes than they can use up now.  I've used Fring, but not Viber.

I used to have issues with flash making it freeze, but then I saw a web page that said to disable the ipc thing in about:config.

I find a lot of the KDE programs are slow.  It's really annoying, because they look so much better :(

uTorrent really pisses me off.  First one machine and now this one is grinding to a virtual halt when I run UT in the background.

I have used Tribler for a few D/loads, easy to set up and run plus not too demanding
BUT unless I missed something in the instructions, it scans tinternet not particular sites ,you don't get full info on the torrent and post d/load passwords are sometimes required and fake files download.
Similar to the old limewire I'm afraid

Can you not just alter the setting's / upgrade to newer version. Which i suppose you have done already.

As soon as i can work out what KVM switch I can use with Windows 7, I am going to use an old machine running linux for my torrents. I like Transmission.

Apparently it's a common problem and not that easily fixed.
