WebTorrent Hybrid Client (Node.js)

Streaming torrent client for node & the browser

In node.js, webtorrent no longer connects to WebRTC peers, just normal TCP/UDP peers. If you want to connect to all types of peers, including WebRTC peers, from node.js, you need to use this package (webtorrent-hybrid).

The wrtc dependency (which provides WebRTC support in node.js) can be a bit difficult/slow to install and lacks Windows support, so we didn't want to burden all users of webtorrent with that process. If you just want to use WebTorrent in the browser, or in node.js to connect to normal TCP/UDP peers, then you can depend on webtorrent, which will be faster to install.

Usage

webtorrent-hybrid has the same command line interface (CLI) and module API as webtorrent. Just require('webtorrent-hybrid') instead of require('webtorrent').
