What is qBittorrent?

qBittorrent BitTorrent is a free, open-source client for downloading files over the BitTorrent network. It's ad-free, has no hidden extras, and no features locked behind a paywall. It was created in 2006 as a clean alternative to the typical BitTorrent download programs of that era, which often included ads, strange toolbars, and various limitations. Its open-source code is transparent, all updates are transparent, and there's no hidden behavior to raise suspicion. A volunteer community has continuously developed it, making it one of the most trusted BitTorrent clients worldwide. It also supports the Thai language natively and can be used immediately without any additional configuration.

qBittorrent's interface is designed for users familiar with µTorrent, requiring minimal learning curve. However, beneath this seemingly simple exterior lies the libtorrent-rasterbar engine, written in C++ on the Qt Framework. This results in a lightweight program that consumes minimal resources and supports the full suite of BitTorrent protocols including DHT, PeX, Protocol Encryption, LSD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, and µTP. It offers wide peer reach and smooth downloads even on networks with speed throttling. For comparisons with similar alternatives, we have an article... µTorrent Pro Please read this as well.

qBittorrent is suitable for everyone from those who just need to download files occasionally to those who run their download server 24/7. In addition to the regular downloader, it offers a WebUI for remote control via a browser, ideal for devices without a physical screen like NAS or servers. It also features an RSS feed for automatic download rules and a built-in search engine that searches for torrents from multiple websites simultaneously via a plugin. All of this is free – no payment or subscription required. For beginners just starting out with torrent downloads, beginning with such a clean and reliable platform is much more reassuring.

Upon first opening, you will encounter a legal warning window.

The first time you open qBittorrent, a Legal Notice window will pop up. It clearly states that when you run the torrent, files will be shared with others through uploading, and that you are responsible for what you share. Read it and click I Agree to continue. For those running qBittorrent without a physical interface, such as on a server or in Docker, this window will be an obstacle because no one can respond. To bypass this, open the program with the `--confirm-legal-notice` option to confirm in advance.

Features:

Supports a full range of protocols: It supports DHT (Distributed Hash Table), PeX (Peer Exchange), Protocol Encryption, LSD (Local Service Discovery), UPnP, NAT-PMP, and µTP, enabling wide peer reach and smooth download speeds across all networks.
Prioritize files within the torrent: You can choose which files to download first and which files to skip from the same download sequence. Supports sequential downloading for watching videos while downloading.
RSS feed and automatic download: Track RSS feeds from torrent sites and set rules to automatically download new files that meet specific criteria. Supports both Regex and Simple String Filtering. Separate refresh intervals can be defined for each feed.
IP Filtering: Block unwanted IPs via the PeerGuardian file or eMule. The dat file displays the country and hostname of all peers in the list.
Torrent Creator: Create a .torrent file from a file or folder on your computer. Set the Tracker, Comment, Piece Size, and select a Private Torrent from within the program.
WebUI for remote control: Access and manage qBittorrent from a browser on another machine on the network or from the internet. Supports password protection and HTTPS. Suitable for running on a NAS or server without a screen.
Share Limit per Category: Set separate seeding ratio and maximum time limits for each category, instead of setting them for each torrent individually. This is ideal for separating seeding policies between different file types. This feature was recently added in version 5.2.
Built-in search engine: Search for torrents from multiple sources simultaneously directly via the installed Python plugin, without needing to open your browser to search manually.
Bandwidth Scheduler: Set maximum download and upload speeds according to desired times, for example, disable uploads during business hours and enable full speed at night.
Subcategory and Free Disk Space: The Category system supports automatic subcategory hierarchy structure, and the Status Bar displays remaining disk space in real-time. These features were added in version 5.2.
ARM64 Support: 5.2 Added a build for ARM64 for the first time, supporting devices using ARM64 chips on Windows and Linux.
