FAQ

Q: Which torrent engine powers LibreTorrent and why is it important?

A: LibreTorrent is powered by libtorrent4j, a high‑performance Java wrapper around the native libtorrent library. This engine brings fast peer discovery, efficient bandwidth handling, and robust support for modern protocol extensions, giving you a smooth downloading experience even with large files.

Q: Can I pick only certain files from a multi‑file torrent?

A: Absolutely. LibreTorrent’s selective downloading lets you browse the file tree of any torrent and mark just the pieces you want. The client will only request those pieces, saving both storage space and bandwidth.

Q: Is it possible to move a download to another folder while it’s still in progress?

A: Yes. While a torrent is active you can invoke the “Move” command and choose a new destination directory. LibreTorrent will seamlessly update the file handles and continue downloading without needing to restart the torrent.
