The record

Purpose: Motrix is a download manager for regular downloads, BitTorrent, and magnet links.
Protocols: It supports HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, magnet links, and Metalink.
Download controls: Users can pause, resume, retry, prioritize, and manage download tasks.
Plugins: Plugins can provide site resolution, post-processing, and automation, and run inside Motrix.
Plugin safety: Plugins declare capabilities and permissions in a JSON manifest and run sandboxed.
Server deployment: Motrix can run headless as a Docker server on a NAS or server.
Local data: Motrix stores core task data and settings locally and does not require an account.
Analytics: The privacy policy says official builds do not intentionally include product analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services.
Extension privacy: Browser resource discovery happens locally, and submitted tasks go directly to the selected Motrix App or Server rather than through a Motrix project relay.
Network privacy: BitTorrent use exchanges the app's IP address with trackers, DHT nodes, and other peers; DHT is enabled by default and can be disabled in settings.
Security: Paired Motrix connections use the MBP1 protocol with application-level encryption for task content; the policy recommends WSS for remote servers on the internet or untrusted networks.
License and origin: Motrix is MIT-licensed, open source, and was created by Dr_rOot, with the project describing itself as built in public since December 19, 2018.
Support: The project lists [email protected] and GitHub discussions or issues as contact options for privacy questions and concerns.
Beta availability: The download page lists version 2.0.0-beta.44, released September 29, 2026, and says beta builds may be less stable.
