The qBittorrent project aims to provide a Free Software alternative to ยตtorrent. Additionally, qBittorrent runs and provides the same features on all major operating systems. The user interface is similar to the ยตTorrent, one of the official BitTorrent clients.
This helps ease the transition between ยตTorrent to qBittorrent for Windows users switching to Linux. qBittorrent is a multi-platform Bittorrent client developed in C++/Qt4 by Christophe Dumez.
Its main feature is the integrated search engine, which allows you to search for torrents across major torrent websites simultaneously and transparently.
qBittorrent supports โUPnP/NAT-PMP, BitTorrent protocol encryption (Azureus-compatible), Peer Exchange (PeX) compatible with ยตTorrent, IP filtering (eMule-like โipfilter.datโ or PeerGuardian filters), Torrents (and the files they contain).
qBittorrent is based on the Qt toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar. Moreover, it supports the remote control through a secure Web User Interface.
