This project was created as a response to the transition from.torrent to Magnet URI's on many Torrent sites. Many people have the same setup as I do, where.torrent files are saved in a shared folder on a server, so that the Torrent Client automatically starts the download. This application includes a client and a server, coded in Java. Acting as a BitTorrent streaming client, you can play both torrent files and magnet links while they download, all within your browser window. Download any file type BitTorrent Web for Mac is not just for video.

qBittorrent is a native application written in C++. It uses Boost, Qt 5 toolkit, and libtorrent-rasterbar library (for the torrent back-end). Its optional search engine is written in Python.
