qBittorrent
An open-source software alternative to µTorrent
qBittorrent is a free, open-source BitTorrent client available on all major platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and OS/2. It offers a polished interface similar to µTorrent with no ads, featuring an integrated search engine, RSS feed support, remote web UI, and extensive BitTorrent protocol extensions. The project is maintained by volunteers and supported through donations.
Built on the Qt toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar library, qBittorrent provides a desktop and web UI for managing torrent downloads with support for DHT, PEX, magnet links, and more.
