From search to screen.
Maximum performance & total control.
Your QNAP. Your rules!
WARNING...
This software may cause your QNAP to exhibit signs of extreme power.
Side effects include fully saturated gigabit links, perfect media libraries, and severe addiction to this dashboard.
Meet Rtorrent 16. Faster, smarter, and completely bloat-free. Built from source natively for QTS 6 and QuTS hero, featuring a revolutionary Control Center. Zero ads, nothing on your system volume, and absolutely no phoning home.
What it is: A premium torrent client that tells you exactly what it's doing — and why.
Who it is for: Power users with a QNAP running QTS 6.x or QuTS hero h5.2+ (glibc 2.39).
Try before you install: Experience the full panel, live, right now.
Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.
The ultimate dashboard answers the only question that matters: "Is it working?" Monitor live rates, torrent counts, and disk space at a glance. Our advanced port checker walks the entire network path—verifying listeners, router mappings, outside connections, and IPv6. Each step passes or fails independently.
Power at Your Fingertips. No Clutter.
WARNING... This program may contain interfaces that are... highly addictive. Prolonged exposure may result in an unhealthy obsession with your QNAP NAS. Proceed with caution.
For the 90% of days when you just want to see what's arriving, our Quick Access panel is all you need. Start, pause, trash, re-announce, or set a label with a single click. (ruTorrent is still just one click away for the heavy lifting).

Drop It. Forget It. We Route It.
Just drop a .torrent in, and Rtorrent 16 takes over. The Add page intelligently reads the name, assigns the perfect category, and routes it to the exact right folder. Magnets, files, RSS, or watch folders—four ways in, one perfectly organized destination.
A Media Library with a Brain
Watch your downloads flow from active, to finished, to your media library in real-time. Visually map file operations—hardlinks, copies, or moves. FileBot handles the renaming and artwork, and then we automatically nudge Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin, or Emby to refresh.
Command Your Trackers in Plain English
Integrated search on steroids. TorrentLeech, UNIT3D, Jackett, or Prowlarr—just typelatest Stranger Things. The engine translates your intent, grabs the newest episode, ranks the results, and drops your selection straight onto the NAS.Bulletproof PrivacyYour credentials live in
etc/trackers.json directly on your NAS (mode 0600). They never leave your machine except to authenticate with your tracker. Period.Notifications You'll Actually Want to Read
When a movie lands, get the poster, resolution, HDR status, runtime, size, and audio details delivered to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, ntfy, or e-mail. The WhatsApp bot even lets you reply with commands likestatus or latest Fargo to control your NAS on the go.
Backups You Can See — And Restore Instantly
Two automated daily snapshots protect your torrent list and your entire configuration. Restore any single day directly from the web panel. Rtorrent restarts and swaps the list seamlessly without touching a single byte of downloaded data.
Unleash Maximum Hardware Potential
WARNING... This installation has been known to cause spontaneous... maximum overdrive. Your QNAP NAS will never be the same again.
Our built-in Performance Wizard stress-tests your specific disk and network link, comparing results against your hardware to generate tailor-made settings that maximize your bandwidth.

Network & NAT, Told Straight
Rtorrent 16 queries UPnP and NAT-PMP on every start. If the router refuses, the panel gives you the exact error from the router itself, showing you who mapped what, and whether the outside world can actually see you.
Total Control. Zero Confusion.
116 settings. 11 stunning themes. 9 supported languages. Every single setting explains exactly what it does right in the UI. We put the manual in the panel, not on some forgotten wiki.

Your NAS in Your Pocket
Add the Control Center to your phone's home screen for a flawless, native-app experience. Just share a .torrent or magnet link from your mobile browser, and it beams straight to the NAS.What's Under the Hood
