qBittorrent is Free Software (more than just freeware! Free as in Freedom) released under the GNU GPLv2 license.
You don't have to pay for it and this won't change. Its code is open and available to everyone and reusable under certain conditions (see the license text for more information).
qBittorrent –of course– does not contain any malware, spyware, advertisements or undesired third-party programs.
The qBittorrent issue tracker is located right here, on the top bar of this page.
Please do not hesitate to report any problem you may experience with qBittorrent. We will do our best to address it.
On our issue tracker here.
All ideas and feedback are welcome.
Just know that we want qBittorrent to remain low-footprint software and that we do not want to integrate heavy features that are not really useful to most people.
The simple answer is that 'priority' has no significance for payloads, or part thereof that are completed.
'Priority' is there to arrange in numerical order the requests for pieces that your client makes to other peer nodes in the swarm for pieces that are still required by your client to complete the selected payload. It has no relevance to other peers as it is purely a 'local' setting.
Because of this it is excluded from the context menu that is accessed via a 'right click' or 'menu' button on a keyboard.
You can enable all 3 of those options and your private torrents will stay private. You can verify this by viewing the trackers tab on a private torrent and the status for DHT/PEX/LSD will be 'Disabled' and the message column will say 'This torrent is private'.
You can either fork our GitHub repository and make a pull request (highly recommended) or send patches to the following address: sledgehammer999(at)qbittorrent(dot)org.
We will review them promptly.
qBittorrent was created in March 2006 by chris@qbittorrent.org and was actively maintained/developed by him until July 2013.
After that sledgehammer999@qbittorrent.org is maintaining the project.
Several other people (Arnaud Demaiziere, Ishan Arora, Stephanos Antaris, Mohammad Dib, Gelmir (Dayman)) have contributed or are still contributing to the project.
If you like the software and you would like to help the project to subsist by giving some money, please do so here.
We thank you in advance.
qBittorrent code compiles on Unix-like systems (GNU/Linux, BSD, OS X, ..) and Windows.
Windows is officially supported as of qBittorrent 2.2.9.
qBittorrent is included in the official repositories of several major GNU/Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Arch Linux, …).
Binary distributions are usually available to the other distros through 3rd party repositories.
If not, please file a request at your GNU/Linux distribution's issue tracker.
qBittorrent is a peer to peer (P2P) file sharing software.
Although the software is perfectly legal, it may be illegal to download restricted content with this software, depending on the law in your country.
A lot of other BitTorrent clients exist but qBittorrent has several advantages:
You are probably using GNOME ≥ 2.28. By default, this window manager is no longer displaying menu icons.
You can change this behavior by issuing the following two commands in a terminal:
Well, actually I lacked inspiration on this one. :p
qBittorrent is simply a BitTorrent client written using the Qt Framework for its user interface.
Most programs developed with Qt toolkit use a 'q' as the first letter of their name.
The qBT abbreviation is also commonly used to refer to the qBittorrent client. However, please do not use the abbreviation qtorrent since another BitTorrent client with this name already exists.
Windows:
%APPDATA%qBittorrent = C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingqBittorrent%LOCALAPPDATA%qBittorrent = C:Users<username>AppDataLocalqBittorrent~/.config/qBittorrent/~/.local/share/data/qBittorrent/
OS X:~/.config/qBittorrent/~/Library/Application Support/qBittorrentYou need to delete the qBittorrent .plist files from ~/Library/Preferences:
~/Library/Preferences/org.qbittorrent.*~/Library/Preferences/com.qbittorrent.*Where yourname is your OS X user name.
As you may know, a torrent is split into pieces of equal size that do not take files into consideration.
As a consequence, a piece can contain information relative to more than one file and qBittorrent only operates at piece level.
Because of this, if two files are adjacent and you choose to download only one of them, it is likely that the filtered one will be partially downloaded and thus appear on the hard-disk.

Tick Tools → Options.. → Advanced → Always announce to all trackers.
qBittorrent is handling torrent seeding priority by itself in order to optimize sharing and benefit to the swarm as much as possible.
qBittorrent uses 2 sets of colors depending if you're using a dark theme or not.
Here is the list (github doesn't allow changing the text color):
Light theme:
Most users want to keep the torrents they are downloading or seeding when switching to qBittorrent from another BitTorrent client. This is of course possible and it is quite simple to achieve.
Here is how you should proceed:
We have written a full explanation describing the advanced options in the guide here.
Yes and Yes!
qBittorrent can be run on your server and controlled remotely through its WebUI. As a default, the WebUI is running on http://server-ip:8080 (user: admin, password: adminadmin).
There is a guide for Ubuntu Server install here.
For other distributions, if your server does not have X server running, then you will need to disable the qBittorrent graphical user interface at compilation time (≥ v2.1.0 only).
Pass --disable-gui parameter to the configure file before compilation to disable the GUI.
Instructions on disabling the qBittorrent GUI is available here.
Provided you have at least shell access you can follow the instructions on this page.
Yes, there is a great Firefox add-on called Bit Torrent WebUI+ that can send torrent and magnet links directly to the qBT Web UI server when clicked.
This add-on works with many popular WebUI clients including qBittorrent.
And yes, there is a Chrome/Chromium extension that works great with qBittorrent : Remote Torrent Adder
Support for cookies in RSS feeds was added in qBittorrent 2.3.0.
To use feeds that require cookies, you must find the cookie for the site, and extract the UID and pass parameters from it.
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| uid | 1234 |
| pass | asdjh12378912y3lk |
Not every site uses UID and pass as the cookie variable names and they may include additional variables.You MUST use the exact variable name and the extra variables they specify. For example, a certain site may use id, password, and secure as its cookie variables.
Each BitTorrent client is identified by a string called Peer ID.
This ID is sometimes used by trackers to whitelist only a limited amount of trusted clients.
Realtek family controller driver windows 8. The size of the Peer ID field is 20 bytes.
qBittorrent Peer ID is formatted as follows: -qBXYZ0-<12 random bytes>
Where:
X is the major version numberY is the minor version numberZ is the bugfix version number (in hexadecimal so that we can go up to 15)-qB24A0-<12 random bytes>-qB3020-<12 random bytes>In most GNU/Linux distributions, you can go to Tools → Options → Connection then click on IP Filtering.
As far as adding the ipfilter file is concerned, see http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=113690 for a potential way.
When restoring qBittorrent from the tray in an Openbox desktop environment, it doesn't restore the window's initial geometry, so add this to the end of ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:
This is if you desire to have qBittorrent to be maximized on the whole screen.
If you want to have the window restored to a specific size, obapps can be used.
You can copy the class and name from the above XML code and set it according to how you like it.
obapps can be launched from the terminal.
A Dutch step by step tutorial can be found here.
