This is interesting, I haven't ever used the Qt framework but I'm surprised that it would even have an SSL implementation, sounds a bit out of scope for a GUI toolkit. I think I'd prefer to do all my networking separately and provide the fetched data to Qt.

Edit (just noticed this was the author): I'm curious what torrent client do you prefer? I like Deluge but mostly go to it because it's familiar.

Qt isn't just a GUI toolkit - it's an everything toolkit. It's somewhat intended to be used (potentially) alone with C++ to allow the creation of a wide variety of apps. It includes modules like Bluetooth, Network, Multimedia, OAuth, Threading and XML.

See a full list: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/index.html

In the spirit of the C++ compiler frameworks that were quite common during the 1990's before C++98, and then we got quite a thin standard library instead, and a mess of how to manage third parties that is still being sorted out.
