peerflix is a Node.js-based streaming torrent client that lets you stream video or audio files directly from a torrent (magnet link or .torrent file), without needing to wait for the entire download to finish. It spins up a small HTTP server that serves the torrent’s content as it’s downloaded; for example, if you point a media player (like VLC or MPV) to the provided URL, it will start playing almost immediately.
