Such has been WebTorrent’s impact, even Netflix contacted Feross to discuss his technology, which could greatly benefit the streaming video service by reducing its bandwidth consumption. No browser plugin, extension, or installation is required,” Feross previously told TF. It’s written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – and uses WebRTC for true peer-to-peer transport. “WebTorrent is the first torrent client built for the web. Instead of using standalone applications like those listed above it allows people to share files directly from their browser, without having to install any additional software. WebTorrent is a BitTorrent client for the web. Sharing of multimedia content is mostly achieved by use of a desktop client such as uTorrent, Vuze, qBitTorrent or Transmission, but thanks to Stanford University graduate Feross Aboukhadijeh, there is another way. Every day millions of Internet users fire up a desktop-based BitTorrent client to download and share everything from movies, TV shows and music, to the latest Linux distros.
