About:
qBittorrent is a free and open-source BitTorrent client that aims to meet the needs of most users while keeping resource usage low. It features a clean and intuitive interface, integrated search engine for torrents, and supports advanced features like RSS-based auto-downloading and bandwidth scheduling. The client is cross-platform and provides a web UI for remote management.

Key Features:

Integrated search engine with plugin support
Web UI for remote control and headless operation
Bandwidth scheduling and per-torrent speed limits
RSS feed subscription and automatic download rules
Sequential downloading for immediate media playback

Use Cases:

Downloading large files or open-source software distributions
Managing long-term seedbox operations via Web UI
Automating downloads from RSS feeds

Alternatives:

Transmission – Transmission is lighter on system resources but lacks the integrated search and advanced RSS features of qBittorrent.
Deluge – Deluge offers a modular plugin architecture similar to qBittorrent but relies on a separate daemon/client model.
