libtorrent adds support for the WebTorrent protocol

Read Original

The article announces that libtorrent, a core library powering many popular torrent clients, has added support for the WebTorrent protocol. This integration bridges the gap between traditional TCP/UDP torrent peers and browser-based WebRTC peers, moving closer to a web-native, decentralized torrent network. It discusses the implications for hybrid clients, the wider WebTorrent ecosystem including JavaScript implementations, and the potential for easier, browser-based torrenting.
