Windows XP? Don't. Just use uTorrent. The old 1.8 version, 2.2.1 version.
But honestly, you should not be downloading anything there since you have no way to even scan the downloaded content. It should not even be on the open internet.

Windows 7: I'd say the same, 2.2.1.
qBittorrent is great; but you should use a new-ish version.

呃,我问的是 qBittorrent 的版本,主要是问有没有最晚适合 Windows 7 的版本,Windows XP 只是顺带问一下,没有也无所谓。你告诉我最晚适合 Windows XP 和 7 的 uTorrent 的版本我也很高兴。但我主要想知道的是最晚适合 Windows 7 的 qBittorrent 是哪一版本。

Uh, I was asking about the version of qBittorrent, mainly if there is a version for Windows 7 at the latest, Windows XP was just a passing question, it doesn't matter if there isn't. I'm glad you told me the latest version of uTorrent for Windows XP and 7. But what I mainly want to know is which version of qBittorrent is the latest for Windows 7?

I repeat: DO NOT USE OLD VERSIONS OF QBITTORRENT.
- They might have security holes.
- They are not whitelisted on most trackers.
- Hundreds of issues has been fixed since.

Qbittorrent is the BEST if you can use the latest version.
If you can't, you should use a true and tested old client like uTorrent 2.2.1.

But... see: https://www.qbittorrent.org/news
Tue Aug 29th 2023 - qBittorrent v4.5.5 and v4.6.0RC2 release

qBittorrent v4.5.5 and v4.6.0RC2 were released.
This will be the last release of the v4.5.x series. Users running the Qt5 edition will not be notified for new updates if they are running on older Windows versions than Windows 10.
So 4.5.5.

Old versions of qBittorrent may still run on those outdated Windows versions but that doesn't mean you should be using them. Both Win XP & Win 7 reached End of Life (EOL) many years ago. They're no longer maintained. You can't even get security patches for them anymore through Windows Update. Update to a newer Windows OS version like 10 or 11. It's worth pointing out, however, that Windows 10's development is going to be discontinued by October of next year. You're better off updating to 11 if you're a Windows desktop OS user. If you're a Windows Server user then you should be using Server 2022 (note: Windows Server 2025 is slated for release any day now).
