The open-source bit torrent client qBittorrent, which is still regularly downloaded from ComputerBase's download area, has received many new features and error corrections in the latest version 4.5.0. In addition, the free client for the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol starts faster with many connections.
Fast start and advanced port-forwarding
Serving as an alternative to the official BitTorrent client for the network protocol of the same name, the qBittorrent client is an open-source, fast and lightweight app with an easy-to-use and user-friendly interface that is now said to load even faster, even when there are many simultaneous connections to different torrents .
The release notes of version 4.5.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux list the following innovations, optimizations and bug fixes.
- New icons
- New color themes
- Fast start with many connections
- Support for custom SMTP ports
- Port forwarding for embedded tracker
- Filename filter and blacklist
- Keyboard navigation
In addition, the developers have made improvements in the area of metadata collection and dropped the 32-bit client and are now concentrating exclusively on the 64-bit version. The obligatory bug fixes that accompany each new release address almost all areas of the app.
