Frequently Asked Questions

<H3 fontWeight="bold">What is PikaTorrent ?</H3>
<Paragraph>
PikaTorrent is a cross-platform and open source Bittorrent client. It is
currently available for Android, Linux, and Windows. A MacOS & iOS app
might arrive later.
</Paragraph>
<H3 fontWeight="bold">Why PikaTorrent ?</H3>
<Paragraph>
People are used to centralized services to download and share files or
stream videos. These services are often easy-to-use, but can have
drawbacks:
<ul>
<li>Share links can expire</li>
<li>Sharing big files can be costly</li>
<li>Website can have downtime</li>
<li>Speed can be slow, depending on servers load and bandwidth</li>
</ul>
With PikaTorrent, we try to offer the tools to redecentralize our files
shares. BitTorrent is a very efficient protocol to share files. By using
BitTorrent, PikaTorrent offers:
<ul>
<li>
Unstoppable files sharing (while at least one device shares the
files)
</li>
<li>Unlimited download speeds</li>
<li>Sharing at no cost</li>
</ul>
While still offering an easy to use interface.

Using BitTorrent is not illegal by itself. However, in most countries,
sharing copyrighted content without permission is prohibited.

Why would I use PikaTorrent instead of uTorrent, qbittorrent, deluge,
transmission, libretorrent... ?
</H3>
<Paragraph>
uTorrent (and the BitTorrent client from the same company) has gained a
bad reputation over time by installing toolbars, displaying ads and
installing a cryptocurrency miner (see{' '}

</Link>
). Open source softwares like qBittorrent, deluge, libretorrent or
Transmission for instance, are great BitTorrent clients. In fact,
PikaTorrent even uses the same engine as Transmission: libtransmission.
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph>
However, we think these software might target more advanced users than
PikaTorrent. For now, PikaTorrent might offers these nice features
compared to alternatives:
<ul>
<li>An easy-to-use, modern interface</li>
<li>Linking between the mobile app and desktop app</li>
<li>Direct link sharing</li>
<li>Search engines customization</li>
</ul>

How does linking works between mobile & desktop ?
</H3>
<Paragraph>
The desktop application displays a qrcode in the settings section. You
can flash it from the native mobile app, from Nodes -> scan QRCode`.
Once you confirm the connection from the desktop app, you should be able
to control your desktop app from the mobile app. You don't need to
register for an account, and the connection is secured with end-to-end
encryption, thanks to WebRTC. Please note this might not work behind
some restricted networks.
</Paragraph>
<H3 fontWeight="bold">Can I search for torrents with PikaTorrent ?</H3>
<Paragraph>
PikaTorrent allows to customize a list of preferred torrent search
engines. This feature is a time-saving shortcut that opens your browser, opens a new tab, and types your query.
</Paragraph>
<H3 fontWeight="bold">
Where can I find my downloaded files on Android ?
</H3>
<Paragraph>
For security reasons, Android restricts accessible folders to
applications. For now, downloaded files are saved in a private app
folder. You can still open your files directly from PikaTorrent, with
the "Files" entry of a torrent.
