Not really. qBittorent is built on Qt (thus the prefix), and has a hand-rolled webui in pure html + css + js (with a couple of helper libraries, but no heavy frameworks):

Torrenting clients - qBittorrent still supports Win7 if you select the qt5 variant. For people that do not know what qBittorrent is - it is uTorrent, just without bloatware, ads, malware and such. It's open-source. UPDATE: it dropped Win7 support in October. ;_; (quick, somebody make a fork! https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/ ) - here's the last downloadable Win7 version - https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent-old.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.5.5_lt20_qt5_x64_setup.exe (but hey, I'm still downloading torrents fine in under WinXP 32-bit via the ancient uTorrent 2.2.1, so this version of qBittorrent might last for 10+ years for Win7...)

qBittorrent announces Tailscale IPs that are practically never connectable. I believe it's a bug so I reported it to qBit.
