Project overview
rqbit handles BitTorrent downloads through a command line, Web UI, desktop wrapper, HTTP API, or embeddable Rust library. It supports magnet links, resuming existing files, selective downloads, pausing, rate limits, and streaming with seeking while a download is in progress. An integrated UPnP media server can expose managed torrents to televisions and other devices on the local network. Desktop releases are provided for macOS and Windows; the Linux desktop wrapper must be built manually.
