What is qBittorrent?

The qBittorrent project was created in March 2006 with the idea of developping a new Bittorrent client for Linux (and possibly other systems) that would be easy to use, good looking, featureful but lightweight.

qBittorrent is a Free Software released under the GNU GPL license.

The author is Christophe Dumez, a French Ph.D candidate in SeT research lab, attached to UTBM engineering school.

qBittorrent is based on the great Libtorrent by Arvid Norberg.
