Релиз qBittorrent 5.1

April 29, 2025

Release of qBittorrent 5.1

On April 27, 2025, the latest iteration of the torrent client qBittorrent, version 5.1, was officially released. Developed using the Qt toolkit, this open-source alternative to µTorrent has been crafted with a focus on user interface and functionality. The project’s source code, written in C++ and JavaScript, is available on GitHub under the GPLv2+ license. Users can access qBittorrent builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS. The previous major release, qBittorrent 4.0, debuted in November 2017, while version 5.0 was launched in September 2024.

qBittorrent boasts a variety of features designed to enhance the user experience, including:

  • Integrated search engine
  • RSS feed subscription capabilities
  • Support for numerous BEP extensions
  • Remote management via a web interface
  • Sequential downloading in a specified order
  • Advanced settings for torrents, peers, and trackers
  • Bandwidth scheduler and IP filter
  • Interface for creating torrents
  • Support for UPnP and NAT-PMP

The 5.1 release introduces several key enhancements and fixes:

  • Resolved previously identified bugs and issues
  • Added drag-and-drop support in the torrent content preview widget
  • External IP address display in the status bar
  • Configurable time interval for saving statistics
  • Utilization of reliable pseudorandom number generation functions in Linux and Windows
  • New “eXact Length” setting for managing the size of generated magnet links
  • Ability to extract a list of trackers from a URL
  • Introduction of announce_port setting for specifying the network port for announcements
  • Enhanced search interface supporting multiple simultaneous queries, along with search history and open tab memory, plus a button for resending previous searches
  • Over 50 modifications to the web interface
  • Support for the Thunar file manager
  • Localization updates

In late October 2024, the qBittorrent development team released version 5.0.1, which addressed a long-standing bug related to improper SSL/TLS certificate validation that had persisted for 14 years. This fix effectively mitigated a vulnerability that exposed users to potential man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.
