Qbittorrent Legal Notice

Qbittorrent-legal-disclaimer.png (502 × 200 pixels, file size: 24 KB, MIME type: image/png) qBittorrent v3.3.0 has been released. A lot has happened. And as you may have noticed in the v3.2.x series, we now have a good number of developers contributing. This series has been switched to Qt5, but Qt4 is still supported. Temporarily use OS X builds Qt4. Donation information has been updated to better reflect the project`s donation expectations. Donations are made as a thank you and without expectation of commitment on our part, for example the implementation of feature X or Y. The development of qbittorrent is done by volunteers and we do not employ programmers or other people to work on the project. There are a few core programmers who coordinate most things on github and also contribute code. Donations are appreciated as a thank you.

You can choose to help with server costs (website, forum, domain) and/or donate to senior programmers. This screenshot does not contain any copyrighted software parts or images, or the author has released it under a free license (which should be noted under this notice) and therefore follows the Wikimedia Commons screenshot license guidelines. You can use it freely according to its respective license. Free Software License: qBittorrent v3.3.10 has been released with fixes. Windows users: There is an installer for qbittorrent 64-bit. However, because of this, you may experience increased memory usage. NOTE FOR PACKERS: See also 3.3.8 News and Change Log. When you torrent torrents, other users of the swarm can see your IP address. This can be targeted by copyright trolls and cause legal problems. qBittorrent alone does nothing to prevent your identity from being exposed during torrenting. The qBitTorrent client allows users to set up proxy servers that guarantee anonymity during torrenting. Proxy servers prevent ISPs, trackers, or third parties from knowing that you are downloading torrent files by hiding your IP address.

This will protect you from DMCA reviews and secure your torrenting experience. In general, the use of qBitTorrent is legal. The legality of qBitTorrent depends on the type of content you want to download. There is no problem downloading legal torrents downloaded by the owner of the torrent file. Based on our tests, qBittorrent is completely safe, malware-free and legal to use. Unlike uTorrent, it contains no bloatware or ads and is completely free and open-source. Overall, this is the most secure torrent client we`ve tested, especially if we use it with a VPN. It`s paid content, and you can access it for money.

If you download pirated content from qBitTorrent, it is illegal and the copyright holder can take legal action against you. qBittorrent is 100% legal free and open source software available under a GNU General Public License. This means that you can legally own, use, distribute, and even modify the software. (The only thing you can`t do is sell it!) Although the use of qBittorrent is completely legal, its use is not to break the law. For example, downloading or sharing illegal or copyrighted material with qBittorrent is illegal. Another recent news was that the Mininova engine disabled access to over a million torrent files when it partially shut down its website due to legal issues. Following this news, TorrentFreak has published a list of 10 alternatives to Mininova. We decided that it would be useful to support these 10 search engines in qBittorrent. Therefore, we are currently releasing new plugins on Plugins.qbittorrent.org. 4 new plugins are available at the time of writing, while qBittorrent already supports 3 engines listed in the top 10. That means only 3 more plugins are missing to support the entire top 10.

I do not quite understand the reference. Do all torrent clients share their data with others? Even now, I`m not sure it`s safe to use qBIttorrent. Can someone explain this to me or at least help me with this? qBittorrent is a file sharing program that uses the BitTorrent protocol for data transfer. All torrents you have downloaded are available for download (by you) as long as they are in the list (also known as “shared”). Nothing else is shared. this is how the BitTorrent network will work shortly. It is your sole responsibility for the uploaded content, i.e. you are solely responsible for any illegal uploading/sharing of content. qBittorrent doesn`t track anything you`ve downloaded, so it`s safe to use. However, remember your responsibility for downloaded content. As you may have noticed, our Ubuntu PPAs have been broken for quite some time.

Chris Dumez, who was taking care of them, could not fix them. Today, I managed to create new working PPAs. Go to the download page and find the new PPAs. You should delete the old ones to avoid conflicts. qBittorrent is safer and more anonymous than uTorrent & BitTorrent, but torrenting still carries risks. Using the best VPN for torrenting like NordVPN avoids all the risks, whether it`s privacy, speed, ISP throttling, ISP monitoring, or other DMCA advisories. qBittorrent v4.3.0.1 has been released. This is a minor release to fix crashes on Windows related to torrenting with URL seeds (HTTP sources in qbittorrent window). These accidents were suspended due to the 1.74 increase. Boost 1.73 does not have this problem. However, libtorrent has also solved the problem on their end, so Windows installers use the new libtorrent code. The rest of the version is almost identical to v4.3.0 (see changelog).

Since other platforms have not been affected, only versions of Windows will be available for this version. qBitTorrent is the oldest still actively developed torrent software still in use. It is legal and safe to use and download if you download it from its official website and use it for legal download content. The torrent client offers several customizable features and settings that ensure that users can benefit from it. Illegal torrenting downloads content without getting permission from the owner. Examples of copyrighted content: In short, if you don`t download/share anything illegal, then you can do whatever you want qBittorrent v4.3.8 and v4.4.0beta3 have been released. We also moved our IRC channel to irc.libera.chat. The canal is #qbittorrent. The client also supports HTTP proxies, but they are not secure and unreliable, and we do not recommend using them. When we disconnected our VPN, the download froze, and when we reconnected it, the download resumed. This shows that the feature worked as expected to prevent connections outside the VPN.

qBittorrent v3.3.8 has been released. NOTE FOR PACKAGER: The Libtorrent 1.1.x series is not officially supported yet. This version of qBittorent uses the 1.1.x API, which has not yet been released. It`s in their Git branch for now. Wait for version 1.1.2 or build from RC_1_1 branch or build for the 1.0.x series. Happy New Year everyone! I just downloaded qBittorrent v2.5.3 with some bug fixes. PS: The old cryptocoin addresses have been removed. Please don`t send money there anymore. In the future, the accumulated funds will mainly be used as a reserve to cover server costs. It`s a great new version with a huge changelog. Enjoy! v4.0.0 changelog: qBittorrent v3.3.6 has been released. Minor bug fixes in v3.3.5.

It also fixes boot crashes for some Windows configurations. This is a libtorrent problem. On Windows, it uses libtorrent 1.0.9 + git f716aef5 with commit 45cff5837f7b4af reset as it causes crashes. The investigation is ongoing. Mac OS X versions are also ready. Ubuntu PPA will follow. But again, the question arises as to whether these features provide maximum protection when torrenting. And is qBitTorrent safe to use? So, yes, it is safe to use, and these features offer a certain degree of security.

qBitTorrent is free of intrusive ads and malware, making it the most proficient torrent client. However, downloading torrents is not safe. You need to take serious privacy measures to secure your torrenting, otherwise dangerous circumstances would occur. qBittorrent v3.3.11 has been released. There are WebUI security patches. This will be the last version of the v3.3.x series. The next version will have a new icon theme (at least) and will discontinue support for Qt4.
