libtorrent is a free program library for the use of BitTorrent , on which a large number of BitTorrent clients are based. It fully supports the official BitTorrent protocol extensions and has an interface for additional modules, with which support for further protocol extensions can easily be added. It is written in C ++ with Boost . The platform-independent code works at least with Windows , Linux , macOS and FreeBSD . Development goals are ease of use and the economical use of system resources.

Clients such as qBittorrent , Deluge and Miro , or BitTorrent additional modules for Mozilla- based web browsers (firetorrent, Bitfox) and apps for Android , such as Flud, are built on libtorrent. A limited, minimal test client is provided with the library to demonstrate usage of the library.
