qBittorrent is a cross-platform free and open-source BitTorrent client written in native C++. It relies on Boost, OpenSSL, zlib, Qt 6 toolkit and the libtorrent-rasterbar library for the torrent back-end, with an optional search engine written in Python.[8]
qBittorrent was originally developed in March 2006 by Christophe Dumez.[1] qBittorrent contained a remote code execution exploit caused by a failure to validate any TLS certificates presented to the application when downloading content via HTTP.[9] The flaw, which had been in the application since at least 2010, was eventually fixed in version 5.0.1, on October 28, 2024, more than 14 years later. It is not believed the flaw affected downloads using the BitTorrent protocol, however the application uses HTTP(s) to check for updates, download RSS feeds and manage its Internet geolocation database.[10]
qBittorrent is a cross-platform torrent client compatible with FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, OS/2 (including ArcaOS and eComStation), and Windows.[11] Among its main features are bandwidth scheduling, torrent queuing and prioritization, content selection within torrents, and an integrated RSS feed reader with automatic download filters.[12] The client supports DHT, PEX, encrypted connections, LPD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, μTP, magnet links, and private torrents, as well as IP filtering using eMule dat or PeerGuardian file formats.[12] Version 4.6.0 added experimental I2P support.[13]
qBittorrent also includes an integrated torrent search engine powered by user-installable Python plugins, enabling simultaneous searches across multiple torrent sites directly from the client.[14] Remote control is available through a secure web user interface. The client supports IPv6, Unicode, and is available in approximately 70 languages.[6] Sequential downloading, which enables approximate media streaming, and a torrent creation tool are also included.[12]
In 2012, Ghacks suggested qBittorrent as an alternative to μTorrent for those put off by its adware and bundleware changes.[15] TechRadar reviewed the application in 2020, praising its ease of use, ad-free interface, and extensibility through plugins as features that make the software more capable for power users.[12]

Kiloware is a term for postage stamps sold to stamp collectors by weight rather than individually or by quantity. This is often in kilograms, hence the name. Kiloware usually consists of used stamps on paper from mail clippings, although off paper stamps may also be sold as kiloware. Mission kiloware, or a mission mixture, is kiloware put together by charitable organizations, churches, etc., whose volunteers gather used stamps and then sell them to dealers or collectors. Mission kiloware will normally have high duplication of common letter rate definitives, but good mission kiloware will be advertised as "unpicked", meaning the scarcer or better stamps will not have been removed from the mix, and there is at least the possibility of the collector finding good stamps for a low price. A category which has disappeared in recent years is bank mix, which as the name implies was stamps gathered in banks where they tended to have high value mail, hence often higher denomination stamps. The stamp newspaper Linn's Stamp News has a regular feature entitled "Kitchen Table Philately", in which the reviewer buys mixtures from various dealers, and analyzes what is in the mixtures, noting percentage of duplicates, oldest and newest stamps, better stamps, and concluding with a computation of the cost-to-value ratio. Typical numbers are in the 5% percent range, meaning that the stamps cost a small fraction of their price when sold individually by dealers.
SourceForge is a web service that provides a centralized software discovery platform, including an online platform for managing and hosting open-source software projects, and a directory for comparing and reviewing B2B software that lists over 104,500 business software titles. It provides source code repository hosting, bug tracking, mirroring of downloads for load balancing, a wiki for documentation, developer and user mailing lists, user-support forums, user-written reviews and ratings, a news bulletin, micro-blog for publishing project updates, and other features. Sourceforge was founded by Tony Guntharp, Uriah Welcome, Tim Perdue, and Drew Streib in November 1999. It was one of the first to offer this service free of charge to open-source projects. Since 2012, the website has run on Apache Allura software. SourceForge offers free hosting and free access to tools for developers of free and open-source software. As of September 2020, the SourceForge repository claimed to host more than 502,000 projects and had more than 3.7 million registered users.
Pre-installed software (also known as bundled software) is software already installed and licensed on a computer or smartphone bought from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The operating system is usually factory-installed, but because it is a general requirement, this term is used for additional software apart from the bare necessary amount, usually from other sources (or the operating system vendor). Unwanted factory-installed software (also known as crapware or bloatware) can include major security vulnerabilities, like Superfish, which installs a root certificate to inject advertising into encrypted Google search pages, but leaves computers vulnerable to serious cyberattacks that breach the security used in banking and finance websites. Some mirror sites for freeware use unwanted software bundling that similarly installs unwanted software.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
