  • Must have programs for a fresh Windows 10 install.
    qBittorrent - Open-source alternative to clients such as uTorrent and BitTorrent, the former of which is bloated with ads. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Hello, I’m on Mac and using qbittorent v4.4.3
    The current stable version though is v4.5.2. As long as you get the download from the official qBittorrent site (qbittorrent.org) then it should be perfectly safe. Each update's changes can range from fixing small errors, to show stopping errors, to fixing security holes. So it's best to stay up to date for the best performance and best support.

  • As a newcomer to the series...
    Nyaa.si qbittorrent.org I don't know the stance of the sub regarding torrenting, but as a method of file sharing it's legal both in the US, the EU and many other countries. What you download with it may not be, but that's your responsability and decision as an adult, im pointing to no specific material. You are also free to support Sunrise as much as you want/can. Good luck! Source: over 1 year ago
  • transgender movie night meme
    Well first if you want to pirate via torrenting you need a torrent client, I recommend Qbittorrent(qbittorrent.org). You need a client because torrents are downloaded via a special protocol where everything has to be handled specially, so a client is needed, and not from a central server but from other people who also have that file. The location/ip-addresses of those other people is given via a magnet-link/a... Source: over 1 year ago

    Got it from the qbittorrent website, the website wanted me to download it from Fosshub. I did, and then checked the checksum of it and compared it to the one on fosshub, to the one on qbittorrent.org and to the checksum text file I got with. Its all valid. Its just not running, I have problems using pidgin problems downloading stuff from github. Source: about 2 years ago
  • [Forum Discussion] - Please recommend new sources of Piracy
    Why do I keep reading folks calling qbittorrent.org a "search engine", and like - the best search engine ever? It's a client. The site clearly isn't a search engine. What is even going on here? Source: about 2 years ago
  • Best torrent app?
    After doing some research it seems that qbittorrent is the safest out there that doesn't have any malicious codes or miners installed. I haven't been torrenting on my windows pc for a while now since windows defender detects them as malicious. It does the same with qbittorrent, but I just want to confirm that its safe? Is qbittorrent.org the correct link to download from? Are there realiable chrome, firefox, or... Source: over 2 years ago
  • Hey guys. A while ago a subscriber here dumped a bunch of PDFs and survival books to keep on your electronic devices. Asking for help to find that dump.
    Use Torrents. I recommend qbittorrent.org and a always on VPN client. Here is a video on how to create a torrent in qBittorrent. Upload the torrent file to a file share site like mediafire, Mega, 4shared, etc and then you can share the link to the torrent. Interested in the collection you have and can help if needed so it can be shared. Source: over 2 years ago

    Use a proper torrent manager, and a vpn if you're going to pirate regularly. Source: over 2 years ago

qBittorrent is compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux, and it's starting to be available as a package for NAS devices.
