qBittorrent Enhanced Edition is an unofficial fork of qBittorrent that adds peer-control and anti-leeching tools to the familiar open-source BitTorrent client. It is written primarily in C++ with Qt and uses libtorrent for protocol and transfer operations. The enhanced build can automatically block several identified downloader clients and optionally reject selected unknown or media-player peers. Users can maintain peer whitelists and blacklists for more precise connection control. It retains qBittorrent’s desktop client foundation while adding enhanced APIs, tracker-list updating, country resolution, and a distinct client identity. Packages are available for Windows, macOS, and multiple Linux distributions, but private-tracker users should confirm that the modified client is permitted. -

qBittorrent RuTracker plugin
qBittorrent search engine plugin for rutracker
qBittorrent RuTracker plugin is a lightweight search engine extension designed to integrate the RuTracker torrent index directly into the qBittorrent client, allowing users to search for torrents without leaving the application interface. The plugin follows qBittorrent’s official search plugin architecture and is implemented as a Python script that communicates with the RuTracker website to retrieve and display search results. By embedding this functionality into the client, it streamlines the torrent discovery process and reduces the need for manual browsing across external websites. The plugin requires users to authenticate with RuTracker credentials, enabling access to content that may otherwise be restricted or hidden behind login requirements. It is designed to be simple to install and configure, typically involving placing the script in the appropriate directory and editing credentials. -

Jackett
API Support for your favorite torrent trackers
Jackett works as a proxy server, it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, etc.) into tracker-site-specific HTTP queries, parses the HTML or JSON response, and then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic, removing the burden from other apps. Trackers marked with (invite needed) have no active maintainer and may be missing features or be broken. If your client supports multiple feeds it's recommended to add each indexer directly instead of using all indexers. Using the all indexer has no advantages (besides reduced management overhead). We recommend you install Jackett as a Windows service using the supplied installer. You may also download the zipped version if you would like to configure everything manually. -
