Choose this fork if you want qBittorrent with extra desktop and WebUI conveniences and can accept a materially diverged, slightly older base. Choose upstream instead if you prioritize the latest release line, lowest maintenance risk, and maximum compatibility.

Prefer this fork only if you specifically need its older behavior, no-WebUI build option, or legacy compatibility. For most users, upstream qBittorrent is the better choice because this fork is deeply stale and likely missing years of fixes and feature work.

Choose this fork only if its older behavior and localization/theme-oriented changes are specifically what you want; otherwise upstream qBittorrent is the safer default because this fork is materially stale and likely missing many newer fixes.

Prefer this fork only if you specifically need its older customizations or translation-heavy snapshot. For most users, upstream qBittorrent is the safer choice because this fork looks stale and materially behind in maintenance and recent features.

Choose this fork only if the dark-theme direction is the main requirement. For most users, upstream qBittorrent is the safer choice because it is much newer, more actively maintained, and far less likely to have compatibility gaps.

Choose this fork if you value its custom UX and localization work more than staying current with upstream. Choose upstream if you want the newest fixes, especially libtorrent compatibility and active mainline maintenance, with less merge risk.

Choose this fork only if you specifically want a near-identical qBittorrent snapshot for your own edits. For everyday use or feature adoption, upstream is the better choice because this fork adds no visible capabilities and is materially behind.

Prefer this fork only if you need its custom WebUI, RSS, localization, or architectural changes and are prepared to maintain a deep divergence. If you want the most current, low-risk qBittorrent experience, upstream is the safer choice.

Choose this fork if your priority is localization and downstream customization more than staying current with upstream qBittorrent. If you want the latest torrent-client fixes, WebUI refinements, and libtorrent compatibility work, upstream is the safer choice.
