qBittorrent is a bittorrent client programmed in C++ / Qt that uses libtorrent (sometimes called libtorrent-rasterbar) by Arvid Norberg.
It aims to be a good alternative to all other bittorrent clients out there. qBittorrent is fast, stable and provides unicode support as well as many features.
Transmission - A Fast, Easy and Free Bittorrent Client For macOS, Windows and Linux
Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use. We've set the defaults to just work and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve.
Unlike many cross-platform applications, Transmission integrates seamlessly with your operating system.
The Qt-based Windows UI has been modernized and is fully Windows 11 ready.

Jackett works as a proxy server, it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, etc) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software.
This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches.
Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping and translation logic - removing the burden from other apps.

A pure JS BitTorrent streaming environment, with a built-in list manager.
Imagine qBit + Taiga + MPV, all in a single package, but streamed real-time.
Completely ad free with no tracking/data collection.
This app is meant to feel, look, work and perform like a streaming website/app, while providing all the advantages of torrenting, like file downloads, higher download speeds, better video quality and quicker releases.
Unlike qBit's sequential approach, seeking into data that hasn't been downloaded yet will prioritise downloading that data, instead of simply closing MPV.
Designed to be a similar experience to using a streaming website with functionality akin to MALSync and AniSkip.

Radarr is a movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users.
It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new movies and will interface with clients and indexers to grab, sort, and rename them.
It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of existing files in the library when a better quality format becomes available.
Note that only one type of a given movie is supported.
If you want both an 4k version and 1080p version of a given movie you will need multiple instances.
