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.

Tribler is a decentralized, privacy-enhanced BitTorrent client developed by researchers at Delft University of Technology.

Its goal is to provide a fully autonomous file-sharing network without relying on external servers, search engines, or trackers.

OnionShare is an open source tool that allows you to securely and anonymously share files of any size, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network. There's no need for middlemen that could very well violate the privacy and security of the things you share online. With OnionShare, you can share files directly with just an address in Tor Browser. OnionShare works because it is accessible as a Tor Onion Service. All you need to do is open it and drag and drop the files you want to share into it, and start sharing. It will then generate an unguessable address which the recipient can open in the Tor Browser to download the files; they won't even need their own OnionShare.

Torrra is an open-source BitTorrent client and library focused on simplicity, performance, and extensibility for developers and self-hosted enthusiasts. It provides a command-line interface (CLI) and API that make it easy to add torrenting functionality to applications or automate downloads within scripts and workflows. The core of Torrra is built with modern asynchronous I/O and efficient resource handling, allowing it to manage multiple active torrents, peer connections, and swarm interactions without wasting CPU or memory. Users can add, pause, prioritize, and remove torrents dynamically, while the client intelligently manages piece selection, peer discovery, and bandwidth allocation to optimize download throughput. Torrra also includes hooks for event monitoring and status reporting, enabling third-party tools to visualize torrent progress or integrate with home automation dashboards.

Kinto is a minimalist JSON storage service with synchronization and sharing abilities. It is meant to be easy to use and easy to self-host. Kinto is used at Mozilla and released under the Apache v2 license. It’s hard for frontend developers to respect users' privacy when building applications that work offline, store data remotely and synchronize across devices. Existing solutions either rely on big corporations that crave user data or require a non-trivial amount of time and expertise to set up a new server for every new project. We want to help developers focus on the front, and we don’t want the challenge of storing user data to get in their way. The path between a new idea and deploying to production should be short! Also, we believe data belong to the users, and not necessarily to the application authors. Applications should be decoupled from the storage location, and users should be able to choose where their personal data are stored.
