webtorrent is a torrent client that can download files to disk or stream them directly to media players like VLC and mpv while the download is still in progress. It supports both traditional BitTorrent peers and WebRTC-based browser peers.
The download command saves torrent contents to a specified directory, while streaming options like --vlc or --mpv open the media in the corresponding player as data arrives. Casting to Chromecast and AirPlay devices is also supported for streaming to TV screens.
The seed command shares local files over the BitTorrent network, and the create command generates new .torrent files. The tool accepts magnet links, torrent files, and info hashes as input.
