qBittorrent 4.6 is a new version of what is -in my opinion- the best BitTorrent client that can be used on Windows. Support for “Invisible Internet” (I2P) and termination for Windows 7 and Windows 8 are the most interesting aspects.

The BitTorrent file sharing network is accessed through a type of specialized application that aims to interpret torrent file data, connect users, control upload and download speeds, perform multiple downloads, and mount files and folders. the download of its parts has been completed.

Its operation is similar in all available offers, although they differ in their interface, performance, system load and other options. Gratuitous; open source; small size; cross-platform; very fast to download and without any additional junk adware based code (which others contain) it is one of the best in the sector.

qBittorrent 4.6, news

The new version isn’t a complete overhaul of the general app experience, but it does have some interesting new features in addition to the usual bug fixes. Perhaps the most notable thing about the new features is experimental support BitTorrent over I2P. Also known as the “invisible internet”, it tries to make torrents more anonymous by avoiding specific IP addresses and network ports. There are some new settings like socket buffer size and maximum torrent file size.

There are some interface improvements. The “Watched Folder Options” and “Auto RSS Downloader” dialogs have been redesigned and there is a new menu for editing torrent tags. Now you can also edit the default theme directly in qBittorrent. The web interface has also been revamped with improved syncing, multiple file renaming, a new ‘add to top of queue’ option and some useful fixes.

Bad news for older Windows. qBittorrent 4.6 is the first version of the client to drop support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Once Microsoft closed its life cycle, it is an industry trend and important applications like Google Chrome and other browsers, Plex Media Server or Valve’s Steam, which will be compatible in 2024, have already been shut down.

qBittorrent 4.6 is available on its website for free to download and use. It supports Linux and macOS, although these have other usage alternatives. Don’t hesitate on Windows, the best of the best.
