The good • Attractive MIT license. This means this app is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review. https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-desktop#license • Decentralizing the Internet. It is the first torrent client built for the web. No browser plugins, extensions, or installation is required to use WebTorrent in your browser. • Instantly stream and play right away video and audio. You don't have to wait for it to finish downloading. • Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Mac • Written completely in JavaScript and uses WebRTC for true peer-to-peer transport • Easy to use. On option is you can drop a torrent file or paste a magnet link in the box at the bottom of the app. Then enjoy instant playback. Alternatively you can drop a torrent file in it. • Lightweight • Able to stream torrents to AirPlay, Chromecast, and DLNA. • Subtitle files support • Support for using VLC when WebTorrent fails to play a file • Available in various formats. Such as: ___• WebTorrent Desktop at https://webtorrent.io/desktop ___• Online streaming at https://instant.io ___• Command line with webtorrent-cli ___• API
The bad • In Beta. So very basic and limited features. But it works :) And it is open source so all are welcome to contribute.
Using • WebTorrent 0.18.0 (0.98.5) (64-bit) • Firefox 52.4.0 (64-bit) • Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit • GNOME 3.14.1
Amazing technology!

It is good but it sometimes has trouble opening magnet links.
