WebTorrent Desktop for Mac is for streaming torrents. Whether it's video from the Internet Archive, music from Creative Commons, or audiobooks from Librivox, you can play it right away. You don't have to wait for it to finish downloading.

WebTorrent Desktop for macOS is fast, free, non-commercial & open source. The program is an amazing streaming torrent client for the web browser and the desktop! WebTorrent Mac Desktop connects to both BitTorrent and the app peers.

The tool is written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – and uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer transport whenever possible. No browser plugins, extensions, or installation is required to use the app in your internet browser. Whether it's video from the Internet Archive, music from Creative Commons, or audiobooks from Librivox, you can play it right away. You don't have to wait for it to finish downloading.

Why?
Imagine a peer-to-peer YouTube where viewers help to host the site's content. By making BitTorrent easier to use, we can get more people to participate and take the first steps to re-decentralizing the Internet.

How do I try it out?
