What is WebTorrent? WebTorrent is a http frontend for BitTorrent. It allows a server handle the BitTorrent download needs of a LAN through the client browsers. To exemplify, instead of 10 people on a LAN each running their own client computers to complete BitTorrent downloads, the server does this. A client need only give the server the .torrent file and the server takes care of the rest. How does it work? Driven by PHP it is a dynamic web system whereby LAN users can centralise their BitTorrent downloads. It was made with the vision of running a low power consumption computer in a Home/SOHO environment. This generates power savings and behaves no differently than multiple clients with BitTorrent downloads as in most cases the connection is common. What does it need? WebTorrent needs to run on a Linux machine. This can be of any architecture, but currently only Linux is supported as the OS. There is also additional software required. This being Apache, PHP 4, MySQL and several Bash utilities(consult documentation). Plans will be undertaken in the future to allow the frontend to function on any OS which supports PHP.
