QformTorrent

Fast and minimal torrent client

---

What is this?

Qform is a torrent client built with Python, libtorrent and PyQt6. It allows downloading files via BitTorrent protocol with a simple and clean interface.

Security & Virus-Free Guarantee

This project is fully open-source, transparent, and safe to use. Here is how you can verify its security:

1. Run from Source Code: If you are skeptical about running the pre-compiled .exe file, you can run the client directly via Python. The entire codebase is clean and human-readable.

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python main.py

2. False Positives Note: The standalone .exe release is compiled from Python scripts using packaging tools (like PyInstaller/Nuitka). Some antivirus engines may trigger false positives on packed Python binaries.
3. VirusTotal Reports: You can always upload the latest release to VirusTotal. The official builds maintain a 1 detection rate.

The application periodically saves torrent state every 5 seconds, ensuring no data loss on unexpected shutdown.
