Everything needed, nothing more
Six things the whole client is built around
Magnet and .torrent
Drop a file into the window or paste a magnet with Ctrl+V — the download starts immediately, without dialogs and confirmations.
Per-file selection
In multi-file torrents tick the files you need — the rest is never downloaded and never takes up space.
Live state
Speeds, remaining time and peer count refresh every 400 ms over WebSocket — no repaint jank, no lag.
Pause and verify
Pause genuinely stops the transfer, and Verify re-hashes the data you already downloaded.
Speed limits
Separate ceilings for download and upload so the client never competes with the rest of your network.
Sessions survive
After a restart torrents come back automatically, and the data already on disk is reused.
The interface
Dark by default, glassmorphism and smooth motion

Frequently asked
Do I need Node.js?
No. The entire Node engine is bundled into the .exe — the app is fully self-contained.
How do I pick only some files?
Open the torrent: a panel with the file list opens on the right. Tick what you need and the client rebuilds the piece selection.
Why does file selection still download extra data?
BitTorrent works with pieces, not files. When files share a piece, that piece is downloaded whole — a protocol limitation, not a client bug.
Will my torrents survive a restart?
Yes. Magnet links are stored locally and the data already on disk is reused.
Is there a Russian interface?
Yes, the interface is fully bilingual. Pick the language in settings — the choice is remembered.
Is any of my data sent anywhere?
No. No telemetry, no accounts, no external services — the client talks to the BitTorrent swarm and your disk, nothing else.
