What it is
LibreTorrent is a free, open-source torrent client for Android. It supports BitTorrent 2.0 and WebTorrent, with magnet links and selective downloads. Users can choose files, move them while downloading, or send completed downloads automatically to another folder or external drive. Sequential downloading supports streaming, while scheduling and an Atom/RSS manager can automate downloads. Networking options include DHT, PeX, encryption, LSD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, µTP, and proxy support for trackers and peers. IP filtering works with eMule dat and PeerGuardian lists. The app can also create torrents containing many or large files. The project licenses it under GPL version 3 or any later version. Its privacy policy says permission-accessed information remains on the device and the developer does not collect usage or personally identifiable data except when users submit crash logs. One platform caveat matters: on Android 12 and later, the Google Play version cannot access all files; the project recommends its F-Droid version or a direct APK instead.
