Although many users continue to use uTorrent as a client to download torrents, there is less and less reason to do so. Currently on the network there are a large number of excellent alternatives that allow us to download torrents quickly and easily from the PC. One of the best we can find is qBittorrent, a very light, fast and open source client that, imitating the classic appearance of uTorrent and BitTorrent, will allow us to download all types of files without problems.
Without a doubt, qBittorrent is one of the best clients we can find. This software has a very simple to use interface in which we can find a series of categories where the downloads are ordered, and a central space from which we can control the downloads that are in progress.
This software is completely free and open source for all users. And, although it is not one of the programs that are updated every month, its developers do a great job. The previous version of this program was released last April, and it was a minor update, with no news. And now, a few hours ago, its developers surprised users with the launch of a new version of this program, 4.3.0. And, in addition, it comes with great changes and news.
What’s new in the new torrent client
The first change that we can find in this new version of the program is that, from now on, it uses the latest versions of libtorrent and Qt . These new versions feature a host of optimizations, fixes, and enhancements, and protect Windows users from glitches such as memory leaks. Also, now the show is finally better viewed on HDPI screens.
If we use themes to customize the appearance of this program, we will also see that our themes can now color more parts of the program’s interface. Of course, for this to work, the developers of the themes must update them.
Other important changes that we can find in this new version 4.3.0 of qBittorrent are:
- New notifications when a torrent finishes moving to its destination.
- New keyboard shortcut Control + I opens the statistics window.
- RSS now works in the web interface.
- Users with speed issues can increase the maximum HTTP connections.
Of course, this new version also has a large number of fixed errors, both in the program and in the web interface, the search engine, RSS, Linux and other components of the program.
Download qBittorrent 4.3.0
Users who already have a previous version of this torrent client installed will see, when they open it, a notice with the availability of this new version of qBittorrent.
We can click on the button to download, that the program will open a window of our web browser and the download of the new version will begin. If not, we can also download this new version for free from its website .
Once the new version is downloaded, we install it on the PC. If we have an older version, it will replace it. And, when the installation process is finished, we can start using this program to download all kinds of torrent files.
