WebTorrent Desktop – is a streaming torrent client that lets you stream torrents, available for Linux, Windows and Mac. You don’t have to wait for it to finish downloading.
WebTorrent Desktop is fast, free, non-commercial & open source. 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.
