The following is a general comparison of BitTorrent clients, which are computer programs designed for peer-to-peer file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol. [1]The BitTorrent protocol coordinates segmented file transfer among peers connected in a swarm.
qBittorrent is a cross-platform free and open-source BitTorrent client written in native C++. It relies on Boost , OpenSSL , zlib , Qt 6 toolkit and the libtorrent -rasterbar library (for the torrent back-end), with an optional search engine written in Python .
qBittorrent [7] C++: GPL-2.0-or-later: Yes Yes [8] Windows, OS X, Unix-like, OS/2: Lightweight. Supports DHT, PEX, announcements via UDP. Does not have a web interface or list of hosted torrents; it is not designed for secure or large-scale application. Vuze [9] Java: Disputed: Yes Windows, Mac OS, Linux: Vuze (formerly Azureus) has a built in ...
Transmission is the default BitTorrent client of many Unix and Linux distributions, [38] including Ubuntu, [39] Mint, [40] Fedora, [41] Puppy, [42] Zenwalk, [43] and the GNOME flavor of openSUSE. [44] Fon ships its routers with Transmission pre-installed. [45]
Runner-up Transmission was praised for being lightweight, while qBittorrent was praised for being cross-platform and open-source, Deluge for its plugin library, and Tixati for its simplicity. [2] Vuze , another notable client, failed to make an appearance in the top five for the first time.
As of November 2015, Vuze, BitComet, KTorrent, Transmission, Deluge, μTorrent, MooPolice, Halite, qBittorrent, rTorrent, and the latest official BitTorrent client (v6) support MSE/PE encryption. In August 2007, Comcast was preventing BitTorrent seeding by monitoring and interfering with the communication between peers.
Some clients, like Vuze, μTorrent, and qBittorrent have a "super-seed" mode, where they try to only send out pieces that have never been sent out before, theoretically making the initial propagation of the file much faster. However the super-seeding becomes less effective and may even reduce performance compared to the normal "rarest first ...
A scrape, or tracker scrape, is a request sent by a BitTorrent client to a tracker.A request is sent, connection to the tracker is established, information is exchanged, then the connection is closed.
