# qBittorrent

> qBittorrent is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 3.7k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

qBittorrent is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to a qBittorrent download client. It communicates locally and is configured in the user interface with a URL, a username, a password and an option to verify the SSL certificate. The integration adds sensors for active, inactive, paused and errored torrents, as well as download speed, download speed limit, global ratio, all-time download and upload totals, and connection status. A switch turns the alternative speed mode on or off. Two actions return lists of current torrents, one for a single instance and one covering all qBittorrent instances.
