...It's written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – so the same code works in both runtimes. In node.js, this module is a simple torrent client, using TCP and UDP to talk to other torrent clients. In the browser, WebTorrent uses WebRTC (data channels) for peer-to-peer transport. It can be used without browser plugins, extensions, or installations. It's Just JavaScript™. Note: WebTorrent does not support UDP/TCP peers in browser. To make BitTorrent work over WebRTC (which is the only P2P transport that works on the web) we made some protocol changes. Therefore, a browser-based WebTorrent client or "web peer" can only connect to other clients that support WebTorrent/WebRTC.

bittorrent-dht is a Node.js implementation of the BitTorrent Mainline Distributed Hash Table (DHT) protocol, enabling decentralized peer discovery for BitTorrent clients. This module allows users to announce and lookup peers for specific torrents without the need for trackers. It’s lightweight, fast, and well-suited for building custom torrent clients, browser-based peers, or decentralized apps. This project powers part of WebTorrent and is maintained with performance and minimalism in mind.

WebTorrent CLI is a command-line interface for the WebTorrent protocol, enabling users to stream, download, and seed torrents directly from the terminal using Node.js. It supports both traditional BitTorrent and WebTorrent peers, bridging the gap between desktop clients and browser-based peers. With a simple and intuitive interface, WebTorrent CLI allows users to instantly stream videos (especially with built-in support for VLC, MPV, and Chromecast), making it ideal for media consumption...

Torrent-stream is a core library that underpins peerflix (and similar tools), providing low-level torrent downloading and streaming capabilities in Node.js. It handles connecting to the BitTorrent swarm, negotiating peer connections, fetching torrent pieces, and exposing individual files inside a torrent as streams. This enables developers to build custom torrent-based applications — not just streaming video, but also file downloaders, partial-download managers, or peer-to-peer file distribution tools. The library supports selecting which files to download (useful in multi-file torrents), serves requested pieces on demand, and allows streaming large files without fully writing them to disk upfront — ideal for memory-efficient or on-the-fly consumption contexts. ...

...Peerflix automatically selects the largest file in a multi-file torrent by default (or can list all files for manual selection), and supports passing arbitrary flags to the media player — letting you stream with subtitles, full-screen mode, or other player-specific options. Because it's built on the torrent peer network, it downloads pieces on demand as playback proceeds, which can be more efficient if you only want to watch a single file. Peerflix also exposes programmatic API usage using underlying low-level torrent-streaming logic.

Inspired by Bittorrent, DitTorrent is a peer-to-peer dialup system for accelerated Internet access in the developing world. More at: http://www.dritte.org/projects/poor_man.html

This project aims to assist independent artists in re-claiming their rights in the digital music revolution by providing an open source platform to reach their audience who support the artist by re-distributing media in a de-centralised peer-to-peer network.
