qBittorrent official forums

Where can I find a standalone version of qbittorrent?
I mean the program without install that pulls all kind of trash on my c-drive
The installer puts shit in users\<user>\Appdata\Local\qBittorrent which makes me want to puke.

You are looking for "portable". There is no official version.
Here is one that works like that: https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/ ... t_portable

which makes me want to puke.

It is standard Windows, Linux and Mac OS behavior.

Exactly. That's why I use Revo Uninstaller when I want to uninstall a program: it'll hunt for leftovers and offer to delete them for me.

Portable apps pose other challenges, like registering them as default (on Windows 10/11 anyway), so I'd rather go the full install route.
