qBittorrent
Cross-platform BitTorrent client with a built-in web UI
qBittorrent is a free, cross-platform BitTorrent client focused on providing a complete torrenting experience with a familiar desktop interface and an optional browser-based Web UI for remote control. It aims to offer advanced features while remaining lightweight and without bundled advertising.
Key Features:
- Desktop GUI and optional Web UI (remote control from a browser)
- Integrated torrent search (via pluggable search engines)
- RSS feed reader with automatic downloading rules
- Sequential downloading, content prioritization, and per-file selection
- Advanced bandwidth management (global/per-torrent limits, scheduling)
- Queueing, seeding limits, and torrent management automation options
- DHT, PeX, and Local Peer Discovery support (trackerless and peer discovery)
- IP filtering, encryption support, and connection controls
Use Cases:
- Run a home server seedbox with a Web UI for remote management
- Automate downloads from trusted RSS feeds (e.g., periodic releases)
- Manage large torrent libraries with per-file priorities and scheduling
Limitations and Considerations
- Integrated search relies on external plugins/search definitions that can break or be limited by third-party changes.
qBittorrent is well-suited for users who want a full-featured torrent client with strong control over bandwidth, queueing, and automation, plus the option to administer it remotely via a web interface. Its combination of desktop usability and headless-friendly Web UI makes it a common choice for personal seedboxes and always-on download systems.
