What's Changed
Motrix Next 3.9.7 promotes the complete beta series to stable with Aria2 Next 2.5.5, runtime BitTorrent connection controls, safer file deletion, dynamic Material Design 3 theming, and substantial platform and architecture refinements.
✨ New Features
- BitTorrent connection controls — Configure listen and external endpoints, apply supported changes without restarting the engine, and recover port conflicts automatically
- File deletion policy — Move downloaded files to the system trash or delete them permanently
- Dynamic color system — Use preset or custom seed colors with harmonized semantic roles across light and dark themes
- Peer protection and diagnostics — Manage BT peer blocklists, log levels, log retention, and diagnostic exports
- Task experience — Resume eligible paused tasks, show sidebar task counts, and control the task-list watermark
