torrents

updated 1 Oct 2026

A lite BitTorrent client in the same panel: drop a .torrent file or paste a magnet link, pick exactly which files to download – before or even during the download – pause, resume and seed, with an optional stop at ratio 1.0. The module is off by default; enabling it fetches the open-source engine as a small separate download (~26 MB, signature-verified) that talks only to Hop over a local port. Hop can also become the default app for .torrent files and magnet links.

• adding – drop a .torrent onto the card, paste a magnet link, or open a .torrent from disk. make Hop the default for .torrent files and magnet links and they open here straight from the browser or Finder.
• choosing files – the add sheet lists what's inside; tick the files you want (select or deselect all at once) and confirm. a multi-file torrent expands into a per-file list you can toggle live, each with its own progress.
• downloading – the row shows percent, size, speed and eta; the download glyph lights up only while bytes are actually arriving. pause and resume any time.
• done and seeding – a finished torrent keeps seeding (sharing) to others; pause the row to stop, resume to share again.
• stop at ratio 1.0 – off by default; turn it on in settings to stop seeding automatically once you've uploaded as much as you downloaded.
• speed limits – cap download and upload rates (KB/s) in settings; 0 means unlimited. switch the fields between KB/s and MB/s.
• disk space – before a download starts, the free space on the target volume is checked against the selected files; it won't begin if they don't fit.
• where files land – the download folder (Downloads by default, changeable in settings). single-file torrents go straight in; multi-file ones get their own subfolder named after the torrent. on a finished row reveals it in Finder.
• removing – delete the torrent but keep the files on disk, or delete it together with the downloaded files.
