Package Exports

webtorrent-hybrid

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (webtorrent-hybrid) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

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.

Install

To install WebTorrent:

npm install webtorrent-hybrid

To install a webtorrent-hybrid command line program, run:

npm install webtorrent-hybrid -g

Usage

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

See the WebTorrent docs.
