Some ideas

What are your thoughts on the following?

  • changing the links in the header to be their destinations instead of wiki.qbittorrent.org, for example.
  • adding a donate link to the header or perhaps a donate button
  • removing the "version ribbon" image
a problem I had

When I tried making the header image fit the width for smaller widths, the height would shrink and the ribbon took up the same amount of space while the menu moved up. This meant that the first few menu items couldn't be accessed! I solved this by making the height stay the same. It could've been solved by changing the ribbon so that clicks go through as there's enough space. https://github.com/simonwhitaker/github-fork-ribbon-css does it better than https://github.com/codepo8/css-fork-on-github-ribbon IMO, but I'm sure there's a way to fix up the current one. Edit: Fixed it with pointer-events!

  • removing the "latest version this way" download image image
  • adding a "Download version x.x.x" button
  • modifying Chris's banner to not have the "Free and reliable P2P Bittorrent client" text and to replace that with actual text

I can only answer a few of them, for others I don't have a opinion yet.

changing the links in the header to be their destinations instead of wiki.qbittorrent.org, for example.

This was suggested in the past and we choose to keep the current way.

adding a donate link to the header or perhaps a donate button

I don't mind, but I also think the header is already a little full for another entry.

removing the "version ribbon"

I don't think we will do this.

removing the "latest version this way" download image

I don't mind, we can try and see how it looks.

modifying Chris's banner to not have the "Free and reliable P2P Bittorrent client" text and to replace that with actual text

I would like to avoid lossy operations on the image file unless you are able to do it in a pixel-perfect way. IMO a even better idea is to redraw it in svg format, but I guess this is too much work.

It could be replaced by a different image/SVG or even a CSS button!

yeah, redrawing in SVG is too hard. I didn't know that editing it out would lose quality. :/
