Maintainer activity

10 people did triage or write work on this repository in the last 12 months.

Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 18, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

How this project is maintained

About 18% of issues opened in the past year have never received a reply. 98% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Work labelled "Not an issue" is answered fastest, typically in about an hour, while "RSS" waits about 6 days. 66% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 46% of issues opened in the past year have been closed.

Detailed Description

qBittorrent is a BitTorrent client programmed in C++ using Qt that provides a cross-platform alternative to other torrent applications.

The tool addresses the need for a fast and stable BitTorrent client by wrapping the libtorrent library with a Qt-based interface. It handles peer geolocation using the IP to Country Lite database and supports Unicode, enabling users to work with torrents across different character sets and languages.

qBittorrent suits users seeking a lightweight, open-source torrent client with broad platform support. The project is appropriate for anyone wanting a stable alternative to proprietary clients, particularly those who value transparency and the ability to audit or modify the source code. The tool's reliance on libtorrent as its backend means it inherits the maturity and performance characteristics of that library while adding a user-friendly interface layer.

The project maintains steady development activity with regular bug fixes and feature additions. Code contributions flow consistently, and the maintainers engage with the community through multiple channels including forums, wikis, and issue tracking systems. The team prioritizes stability and cross-platform compatibility, as evidenced by the inclusion of cryptographic signing for releases and careful attention to installation documentation across different operating systems.
