Software update: qBittorrent 3.0.10

Version 3.0.10 of qBittorrent has been released. This open source torrent client has versions for Windows, Linux, OS X and FreeBSD, and shows no ads. The program is with Qt4 developed and based on libtorrent (raster bar). The program is the brainchild of French student Christophe Dumez, who has been working on it since March 2006. Since version 2.0 the program has gained a lot of functionality and in terms of appearance the software is very similar to µTorrent. In version 3.0 we see, among other things, a new screen for adding torrents and you can choose where files are saved when adding a magnet link. The changelog for version 3.0.10 looks like this:
