About qBittorrent

qBittorrent is an open-source BitTorrent client (C++, Qt toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar) aiming to provide an open-source software alternative to µTorrent, with a polished UI, integrated search engine, RSS feed support with download filters and remote control through a web UI (qbittorrent.org). It runs on FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, OS/2 and Windows; official distribution covers the Arch extra repository, Flathub and WinGet, while Docker images are third-party (LinuxServer.io). License: GitHub API reports NOASSERTION and the COPYING file licenses the source under GPLv2+ and the binary distribution under GPLv3+ (with an OpenSSL exception) — apps.license left empty pending human confirmation (R1).
