What is Torrent2exe?
Torrent2exe is a free and open-source software that allows converting torrent files (.torrent) into self-extracting executable (.exe) files. This makes sharing torrents much easier as recipients do not need to have a separate bittorrent client installed.
When the generated EXE file is run, it silently extracts the torrent file and opens it in an embedded bittorrent client to start the download. The default bundled client is XBt, but other clients like qBittorrent can also be used.
Some of the key features of Torrent2exe include:
- Bundles torrent metadata and torrent client in one EXE
- Small executable size
- Password protection
- Customization options
- Silent operation
- Open source
Torrent2exe runs on Windows and is useful for sharing torrents on forums, websites or with non-technical friends. The self-contained executable works seamlessly without requiring recipients to manually open torrent files. Overall, it simplifies the torrenting experience for end users.
