qBitTorrent

The qBittorrent project was started in March 2006 to create a lightweight but featureful BitTorrent client that would be multi-platform and very easy to use.

qBittorrent v2 is the closest open source (GNU GPL v2 license) equivalent to mtorrent. qBittorrent is based on Qt4 toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar.
