About:
WebTorrent Desktop is a modern, open-source BitTorrent client that enables seamless streaming of video and audio files directly from the swarm. Unlike traditional clients, it plays media instantly without requiring users to wait for a full download to complete. This application bridges the gap between peer-to-peer file sharing and on-demand media consumption.

Key Features:

Instant streaming of video and audio files
Supports both BitTorrent and WebTorrent protocols
Clean, modern user interface
Cast to devices via AirPlay, Chromecast, and DLNA
Open source and cross-platform

Use Cases:

Streaming movies and TV shows directly from torrents
Sharing large files with colleagues via instant streaming
Watching video podcasts distributed via P2P

Alternatives:

qBittorrent – Traditional client focused on downloading rather than instant streaming
Deluge – Lightweight client lacking native media playback features
