Software Update: qBittorrent 4.4.5

Spread the love

Version 4.4.5 of qBittorrent has been released. This open source torrent client has versions for Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. The program comes with Qt developed and is based on libtorrent (gridbar) and Boost. The program is the brainchild of Frenchman Christophe Dumez, who has been working on it since early 2006. Today it is maintained by the community. Version 4.4 includes the switch to libtorrent 2.0, but a version with libtorrent 1.2 is also still offered. There is also a separate download with an interface made with Qt 6, which is still referred to as experimental. The release notes for version 4.4.5 can be found below.

qBittorrent version 4.4.5 was released.

NOTE: The default builds for all OSs switched to libtorrent 1.2.x (RC_1_2) from 2.0.x (RC_2_0). Builds for libtorrent 2.0.x are also offered and are tagged with RC_2_0. The switch happened due to user demand and perceived performance issues. If until now you didn’t experience any performance issue then go ahead and use the RC_2_0 builds.

MACOS: The macOS version is not well supported, because we don’t have active macOS developers/contributors. The project is in need of macOS developers. If you are a macOS developer willing to help, just go to our bug tracker for a list of macOS related issues. Or try to fix bugs that you yourself have discovered and annoy you.
