qBittorrent is available for Linux, Windows and macOS. It can be compiled from source for any of those platforms, but binary packages are provided for convenience.
qBittorrent is Free Software (more than just freeware! Free as in Freedom) released under the GNU GPLv2 license. You don't have to pay for it and this won't change. Its code is open and available to everyone and reusable under certain conditions (see the license text for more information).
qBittorrent –of course– does not contain any malware, spyware, advertisements or undesired third-party programs.

Why use qBittorrent instead of another client?
- It is Open-source/Free/Libre Software (you can see the code and see what qBittorrent is doing).
- It is the closest open-source equivalent to the extremely popular (and Windows only) BitTorrent client: µTorrent.
- It uses the high-tech libtorrent-rasterbar library, which means greater download and upload speed as well as excellent support of the latest features of the BitTorrent protocol.
- It is easy to use and all of its features are well documented.
- It is an international program, supporting Unicode and containing translations into more than 70 languages.
- Its development team is very active and friendly.
- It is stable and it has a low footprint (generally, 20-60 MiB of RAM used), whilst providing all the features you may need.
