Versions:
qBittorrentCompanion 0.0.4 is a lightweight desktop satellite for the popular qBittorrent client, translating the familiar WebUI into a stand-alone Windows program that sits next to the main application rather than inside a browser. Designed for users who keep a torrent server running on another machine or on the same PC but want quicker access than launching a browser tab, the utility opens a native window that replicates the WebUI layout—lists, progress bars, labels, and bandwidth graphs—while inheriting the host qBittorrent daemon’s settings, RSS rules, and search plug-ins. Typical scenarios include headless home servers hidden in a closet, seed-boxes reached through a VPN, or simply a desire to conserve browser memory during heavy sessions; the companion avoids the bookmark-and-login routine and supports system-tray minimisation, global hot-keys, and automatic reconnection on wake. Because it is built on the same API the WebUI exposes, every action—adding magnet links, queuing priorities, setting speed limits, or viewing tracker status—remains identical, ensuring zero learning curve for existing qBittorrent users. Version history shows two public builds so far, with 0.0.4 being the current release, incrementally tightening memory use and dark-theme rendering. The program is classified under File Sharing / Torrent Clients on get.nero.com, where it is offered free of charge; downloads are served through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, guaranteeing that each fetch is the latest version and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
