Versions:
BATorrent is a free, open-source BitTorrent client developed by Mateus Cruz for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with the current release listed as version 3.0.3 and one version tracked in the catalog. Built in C++/Qt 6 on the libtorrent engine, it presents downloads as a grid of real movie, series, and game cover art sourced from TMDB and IGDB, and the interface can be customized with six different themes. The software is positioned as a privacy-first client, offering VPN interface binding with a kill switch that drops all traffic if the tunnel dies, a Tor preset, an anonymous handshake, and anti-leecher blocking, while containing no ads, no telemetry, no "Pro" tier, and no account requirement. Beyond core torrent downloading, BATorrent includes a browser-based WebUI with QR pairing for remote control, built-in search, RSS auto-download, stream-while-downloading support, and library refresh integration for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. These capabilities make it relevant to the file sharing and BitTorrent client category, particularly for users who want a single application for downloading, organizing, and streaming media content while keeping network activity private. Typical use cases include managing torrent downloads through a visual cover-art library, automating episode or release retrieval via RSS feeds, accessing the client remotely from a browser, and synchronizing completed downloads with popular media server platforms on desktop systems across the three supported operating systems.
