Tribler is an open source decentralized BitTorrent client which allows anonymous peer-to-peer by default. Tribler is based on the BitTorrent protocol and uses an overlay network for content searching. Due to this overlay network, Tribler does not require an external website or indexing service to discover content. The user interface of Tribler is very basic and focused on ease of use instead of diversity of features. Tribler is available for Linux, Windows, and OS X.

Source code

For Fedora ≥ 42 and pure GNOME check out this tray icon guide . Tribler aims to give anonymous access to content. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography, and authentication the Internet norm. We implemented our own enhanced Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading , with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption. Since 2004, we have been working to ensure that "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).
