Torrento is the Android control surface for the qBittorrent server you already run on a NAS, Linux server, Docker host, desktop, or another always-on machine. Use it to monitor and manage qBittorrent locally for free, then add Torrento Connect when you want remote Android access without exposing the qBittorrent Web UI publicly.
Torrento is the Android app, qBittorrent stays the torrent client, and Torrento Connect is the optional remote layer when you need access away from your local network.
Use Torrento as a qBittorrent remote on your own network without paying for remote access you do not need.
Use Torrento Connect when you want to reach qBittorrent from outside your local network without exposing the Web UI to the public internet.
Local qBittorrent control stays free, Remove Ads remains separate, and Torrento Connect is the remote-access product.
The visible steps below match the HowTo structured data attached to this page.
Turn on the qBittorrent Web UI and confirm the host, port, username, and password you already use for browser access.
Add qBittorrent directly in Torrento for free local control, or install Torrento Connect near qBittorrent when you want secure remote Android access.
Use the same qBittorrent Web UI details in Torrento. If you use Torrento Connect, add and test qBittorrent on the companion first, then import that saved client into the Android app.
Use Torrento to monitor progress and speeds, add new torrents, and run actions like pause, resume, delete, move, and category changes from Android.
Enable the qBittorrent Web UI first. For direct Android connections, use the qBittorrent server's LAN IP and Web UI port. If your Torrento Connect companion runs on the same machine as qBittorrent, it can often reach qBittorrent over localhost. qBittorrent Web UI commonly uses port 8080 unless you changed it.
Torrento is not a torrent client by itself. It is the Android control layer for the qBittorrent instance you already run.
See torrent progress, current state, and live transfer rates from Android without sitting in front of the qBittorrent machine.
Send magnet links, direct torrent URLs, or .torrent files from your phone to the qBittorrent server you already run.
Pause, resume, delete, move, and manage categories from the same Android app you use to monitor qBittorrent.
Torrento supports multiple saved servers, so qBittorrent can live alongside Transmission or Deluge in the same Android dashboard.
Start with the overview or downloads page, then jump to the install guide that matches the machine running qBittorrent or the always-on machine next to it.
If qBittorrent already lives in Docker, on a NAS, or on a homelab server, start with the dedicated Docker setup guide for the companion.
Use the Linux install guide when qBittorrent runs on a headless server, seedbox, or always-on Linux machine.
Use the macOS install guide when you want the companion on a Mac that already sits near your qBittorrent instance.

Yes. Torrento supports qBittorrent on Android. You can add qBittorrent directly for free local control on your own network, or use Torrento Connect when you want secure remote access away from home.
No. If your Android device can already reach qBittorrent on the same network, add qBittorrent directly in Torrento with the same Web UI host, port, username, and password you already use.
Install a Torrento Connect companion near qBittorrent, pair it from Torrento on Android, add and test the qBittorrent connection on the companion, then import that saved client into the Android app. That avoids exposing the qBittorrent Web UI publicly.
You can monitor live speeds and progress, search across torrents, add magnet links, direct URLs, or .torrent files, and run common actions like pause, resume, delete, move, and category changes from Android.
Use the address that the connecting device can actually reach. Direct Android connections usually need the qBittorrent server's LAN IP or hostname, while a Torrento Connect companion on the same machine can often use localhost. qBittorrent Web UI commonly uses port 8080 unless you changed it.
No. Remove Ads is the one-time purchase that removes ads from the Android app. Torrento Connect is the separate remote-access product.
