Ad-free open-source torrent client
qBittorrent is a free, open-source BitTorrent client that aims to be a clean alternative to µTorrent, without ads or bundled software. It is lightweight, fast and available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Features include a built-in torrent search engine, RSS feed support with automatic download rules, sequential downloading for previewing media, bandwidth scheduling, IP filtering, and a web interface for controlling downloads from another device. Magnet links and .torrent files are both supported.
The interface is functional rather than flashy. Always make sure you only download content you have the right to share — torrent technology itself is legal and widely used to distribute Linux distributions, game updates and open-source software, but sharing copyrighted material without permission is not. For a clean, trustworthy torrent client with no adware, qBittorrent is the top recommendation.
