mwarning/web-torrent

Repository files navigation

A simple web browser that allows to show websites (of course) and downloads content from torrents when clicking on magnet links.

This browser supports links into torrent content: <a href="magnet:?xt=hash/foo/index.html">Click here</a>
A magnet link / torrent files content can be browsed and displayed like a website. New torrents can be created via drag&drop and then shared via magnet link.

This is an experiment to explore how web sites and P2P technology can be merged.

  • OS supported: GNU/Linux
  • Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install python-libtorrent python-qt4
  • Dependencies: Python, libtorrent+python-bindings, PyQt/Webkit
  • Current status: alpha
  • License: GPLv3

Future plans:

  • less bugs :-)
  • mutable / signed content
  • access to the DHT as DNS addition
  • everything as browser plugin for Firefox/Chrome etc.
