qBittorrent Enhanced Edition
qBittorrent Enhanced, based on qBittorrent
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. -

torlink
A sleek, zero-setup torrent finder and downloader
torlink is a zero-setup terminal torrent finder and downloader built with TypeScript. It lets users search from a command-line interface, paste a magnet link, paste an infohash, or browse a curated source list. Search results stream in from multiple sources with practical details such as file size and seeder counts. Downloads can run in the background while the user continues searching, and interrupted downloads can resume later. The downloads panel shows progress, speed, time remaining, recently downloaded files, and seeding controls. Because it is a torrent client, it should only be used for content the user has the legal right to download or share. -

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. -

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.

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. -

peerflix
Streaming torrent client for node.js
peerflix is a Node.js-based streaming torrent client that lets you stream video or audio files directly from a torrent (magnet link or .torrent file), without needing to wait for the entire download to finish. It spins up a small HTTP server that serves the torrent’s content as it’s downloaded; for example, if you point a media player (like VLC or MPV) to the provided URL, it will start playing almost immediately. Peerflix automatically selects the largest file in a multi-file torrent by default (or can list all files for manual selection), and supports passing arbitrary flags to the media player — letting you stream with subtitles, full-screen mode, or other player-specific options. Because it's built on the torrent peer network, it downloads pieces on demand as playback proceeds, which can be more efficient if you only want to watch a single file. Peerflix also exposes programmatic API usage using underlying low-level torrent-streaming logic. -

Cloud Torrent
Cloud Torrent, a self-hosted remote torrent client
Cloud torrent is a a self-hosted remote torrent client, written in Go (golang). You start torrents remotely, which are downloaded as sets of files on the local disk of the server, which are then retrievable or streamable via HTTP. Go is required to install from source. The provided set of core features requires large structural changes and therefore requires a complete rewrite for best results. This rewrite is in progress in the 0.9 branch though it will take quite some time. It will be capable of transfering files from and source file-system to any destination file-system. A torrent can be viewed a folder with files, just like your local disk, and Dropbox. As long as it has a concept of files and folders, it could potentially be a cloud-torrent file-system backend. During a file tranfer, one could apply different transforms against the byte stream for various effect. -
