2 years ago when I decided to create rqbit, I've been using qBittorrent as my main client.

I think there was a bug in it, or smth else that caused it for me, that made it download torrents really slowly, and it couldn't saturate my gigabit network, whereas previously it was close. It didn't bother me enough to investigate deeper, but instead sparked the curiosity of what would it take to make a qBittorrent myself.

Since then, either qBittorrent fixed the bug, or whatever else was causing it fixed it, so it's no longer an issue. So if you like qBittorrent, I'm with you - it's great!

My *recent* motivation to put some more work into rqbit was caused by smth else though:

1. I had some free time on my hands, and was craving coding some Rust

2. I gave the client to my dad, he put it on his RaspberryPI, said this is the fastest torrent client he's ever seen, and asked if certain features are available. I implemented them all, cause it wasn't hard, and I made my dad happier at the same time :)
