Frequently Asked Questions
KingTorrent is 100% free freeware. Zero ads, zero bundled software, zero paid Pro tiers, zero telemetry. Free for personal, business, school, and institutional use without restrictions.
KingTorrent keeps μTorrent Classic's lightweight, familiar UX while removing all ads and bundles. It delivers qBittorrent-level features (BT v2, RSS, scheduler) in pure Win32 native code — no Qt. Installer is 3.5 MB, 1/10 the size of qBittorrent (~40 MB).
BitTorrent v2 is the next-generation protocol standardized in 2020. It uses SHA-256 (instead of SHA-1), per-file Merkle trees enabling cross-torrent dedup, and streaming-friendly verification. KingTorrent creates hybrid (v1+v2) torrents by default for backward compatibility.
Settings → RSS → add feed URL, check "auto-download new items", optionally set a title regex filter. Feeds are polled every 30 minutes and matching items download instantly.
Settings → Connection → set listen port (default 6881). With UPnP/NAT-PMP enabled, the router is requested automatically to forward the port. Firewall environments may require manual port opening.
Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Installer 3.5 MB, ~12 MB installed. All dependencies are statically linked — no separate runtime needed.
KingTorrent transmits zero telemetry. No usage stats, no download lists, no personal information sent anywhere. All data stays on your PC in a local SQLite database. No ad SDK, no analytics, no auto-update checker included.
