Just saw this on TPB. Awesome!

What would be more awesome is if you used webTorrent so ppl can share from p2p using WebRTC without installing any program

They are starting to implement WebRTC to desktop clients (webtorrent#369) to make it a Hybrid by supporting both WebRTC & Regular.

I agree, webrtc is mature and stable enough now, plus the source for webtorrent is trivially available. In contrast, the plugins for this are platform-dependent and where is the code for the firefox and chrome plugins?

Webtorrent clients only connect to other webtorrent clients (unless you put a hybrid client somewhere) which basically are quite less. This will result in having less content on the network.

WebTorrent is pushing to make uTorrent, Vuze, Libtorrent and everything else a hybrid client so a website can connect to everyone that isn't a browser. It just have to get one foot in to make it happen. It's just an opt-in for people to use WebRTC protocol instead. So i don't believe the result will be less content on the network. (okey maybe a small %)

But I believe more in making it DEAD SIMPLE for people to start streaming a video just by visiting a website without installing any programs and making it OS independent. Then we have iOS-safari on board as well. (Apple don't allow any torrent apps in the store)
