Comments and Reviews
The good • Attractive MIT license. This means this app is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review. https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-desktop#license • Decentralizing the Internet. It is the first torrent client built for the web. No browser plugins, extensions, or installation is required to use WebTorrent in your browser. • Instantly stream and play right away video and audio. You don't have to wait for it to finish downloading. • Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Mac • Written completely in JavaScript and uses WebRTC for true peer-to-peer transport • Easy to use. On option is you can drop a torrent file or paste a magnet link in the box at the bottom of the app. Then enjoy instant playback. Alternatively you can drop a torrent file in it. • Lightweight • Able to stream torrents to AirPlay, Chromecast, and DLNA. • Subtitle files support • Support for using VLC when WebTorrent fails to play a file • Available in various formats. Such as: ___• WebTorrent Desktop at https://webtorrent.io/desktop ___• Online streaming at https://instant.io ___• Command line with webtorrent-cli ___• API
The bad • In Beta. So very basic and limited features. But it works :) And it is open source so all are welcome to contribute.
Using • WebTorrent 0.18.0 (0.98.5) (64-bit) • Firefox 52.4.0 (64-bit) • Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit • GNOME 3.14.1
Amazing technology!
Super fast, open source!
It is good but it sometimes has trouble opening magnet links.
everything about it is perfect. works well for me and very easy software to handle.
I just fuckin' love this app. Superb! and free
