qBittorrent is a free, open-source BitTorrent client developed by the qBittorrent project. The current version is 5.3.0 for Windows and Linux (5.2.3 on macOS); it needs Windows 10 or later or macOS 13 or later.
BitTorrent is a common way to distribute large, legitimately shared files: Linux installation images, public-domain films, open datasets and game updates from studios that use it. qBittorrent is a clean client for that job, with no ads and no bundled extras.
Key features
- No ads: The interface stays clean, with no banners or paid upgrade prompts.
- Search engine: An optional built-in search tool queries search plugins you choose to install.
- RSS downloads: Subscribe to a feed and let qBittorrent fetch new items automatically.
- Fine-grained control: Set speed limits, schedule transfers, pick individual files inside a torrent and download in sequential order.
- Web interface: Manage downloads on a home server from a browser.
How to download and install
- The Download button opens the official download page on qbittorrent.org.
- Windows users get two 64-bit installers; the default one (built on libtorrent 2.x) suits most people.
- Run the installer and keep the default options. On first launch, you can open a .torrent file or paste a magnet link.
Use it legally
qBittorrent is a neutral tool, just like a web browser. Downloading or sharing copyrighted films, music, games or software without permission is illegal in most countries, and your IP address is visible to other peers in a swarm. Stick to content you have the right to download, such as open-source software and public-domain material.
Pros
- No ads or bundled software
- Built-in search and RSS automation
- Remote control through a web interface
Cons
- The macOS build lags behind and gets limited attention
- The many settings can feel crowded
