Version 3.3.14 of qBittorrent has been released. This open source torrent client has versions for Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD, and shows no ads. The program is with Qt developed and based on libtorrent (raster bar) and boost. The program is the brainchild of French student Christophe Dumez, who has been working on it since March 2006. Today it is maintained by the community. The changelog for this release shows the following improvements:

qBittorrent v3.3.14 was released.

This release is made mainly to fix the previous problematic fix for Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks via the webui.

It also contains another Webui fix for a DNS rebinding attack. For all WebUI users, if your qBittorrent server is assigned with a domain name, it is recommended to enter the domain name in GUI: Options -> WebUI tab -> Server domains textbox or in config: Preferences section -> WebUI/ServerDomains in order to defend against DNS rebinding attacks.

For macOS users: This is my first attempt to have a shortcut to Applications folder in the dmg. I hope I didn’t screw up the presentation.

Google has decided that qBittorrent is a persona non-grata. Read this reddit post for more info.
