Stream torrents as they download

It may work better for you and is worth keeping in mind as a streaming player. These two websites are grouped together because they both stream video online from a webpage using WebTorrent instead of BitTorrent. They are very easy to use and require no external tools, however, there are a few drawbacks as opposed to using the WebTorrent Desktop client.

The online services that use WebTorrent do not have the ability to accept both WebTorrent and BitTorrent connections like the desktop client, which potentially means fewer available peers. Visit Instant. Webtor is different from the online WebTorrent services above because it uses standard BitTorrent.

If the video format in the torrent is not natively supported by your browser it will be automatically transcoded for playback. Once the torrent has been parsed, hover over the video file and press the play button. Pressing the download button instead will start the file downloading in your browser like a normal file. After a short wait, it will begin playing. Visit Webtor. Some standard torrent clients have the ability to download torrent videos in such a way that they can be played while being downloaded.

The required feature is being able to download torrent data in sequential order. Some clients can do this like Tixati and uTorrent , but the tool we will look at here is qBitTorrent.

Apart from the sequential download option, qBitTorrent has an option to download the start and end pieces of the file first to help with compatibility and also to launch the video in an external player from its UI. You can also select those options later by right clicking on the torrent in the list. This will launch the video in the system default video player.

Another way of launching the video which will work on qBitTorrent, uTorrent, Tixati and other compatible torrent clients is to simply open the downloading video file in your favorite video player.

Download qBitTorrent. Dude, this works and is much faster than any other torrent streaming sites, tysm, i hope they never shut this project. That is a pretty user unfriendly site.

The software is in beta, free, and open source. The devs are working on Roku and Chromcast support too, so keep an eye on the project.
