About:
webtorrent-cli is a command-line interface tool that enables users to stream torrents directly without waiting for the entire download to complete. It leverages the BitTorrent protocol to fetch data in pieces, allowing for immediate playback of video and audio files. This tool is ideal for developers and power users who want to access media content efficiently via the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Streaming playback of torrents in real-time
  • Support for both downloading and seeding
  • Peer-to-peer connectivity for fast speeds
  • Command-line interface for automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Streaming movies or TV shows directly from magnet links
  • Sharing large files via torrents from a server or headless machine
  • Downloading Linux ISOs or open-source software distributions
Alternatives:
  • aria2 – aria2 is a versatile download utility that supports BitTorrent but focuses more on downloading than streaming.
  • rtorrent – rtorrent is a text-based BitTorrent client optimized for performance and efficiency, but lacks built-in streaming capabilities.
