All features


WebTorrent is written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – and uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer transport whenever possible. No browser plugins, extensions, or installation is required to use WebTorrent in your browser. Whether it's video from the Internet Archive, music from Creative Commons, or audiobooks from Librivox, you can play it right away. You don't have to wait for it to finish downloading.

Why?
Imagine a peer-to-peer YouTube where viewers help to host the site's content. By making BitTorrent easier to use, we can get more people to participate and take the first steps to re-decentralizing the Internet.

How do I try it out?
See WebTorrent in action on the Web at Instant.io. Send a file to a friend using BitTorrent! Or, install WebTorrent Desktop for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Try out a fast, lightweight, new torrent client today!

WebTorrent Features:

Based on the most popular and comprehensive torrent package in Node.js, webtorrent
Full-featured, but bloat free
Opens magnet links and .torrent files
Drag-and-drop makes adding or creating torrents easy
Discovers peers via tracker servers, DHT (Distributed Hash Table), and peer exchange

It worked great, until it didn't. I am not tech savvy so I have no idea why it stopped working. I only note that, as others have reported (and I sort of already know), ISPs are under a lot of pressure (and probably don't care either way) to kill torrenting. It's not just torrenting that offends the establishment. It's ANY communication that the people have with the people that is independent of the war-making State. Ergo...
