Download qBittorrent 4.6.0

Version 4.6.0 of qBittorrent has been released. This open source torrent client has versions for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The program is with Qt developed and based on libtorrent (raster bar) and Boost. The program is the brainchild of Frenchman Christophe Dumez, who has been working on it since early 2006. Today it is maintained by the community. There are two downloads available. One contains libtorrent 1.2, the other version 2.0.

WebUI users YOU MUST change the default Webui credentials (aka “adminadmin”) when exposing the WebUI to the Internet. There are reports(1, 2, 3, 4) that this is possibly exploited in the wild. This will be remedied in a followup release where the default credentials will be disabled and a credentials change will be forced.
