BitStream

A rudimentary Electron application that utilises WebTorrent to stream and download a torrent simultaneously.

Either paste in a magnet link into the input box, drag and drop a .torrent file, or File > Open a .torrent file.

Currently only .mp4 and .mp3 files are supported as I haven't had a chance to integrate other formats yet. If you are testing this app, make sure to use a magnet or torrent file that is an .mp4 or .mp3 file otherwise nothing will happen. An example magnet is magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6a9759bffd5c0af65319979fb7832189f4f3c35d&dn=sintel.mp4.

To get magnets from a torrent website such as ThePirateBay, simply search for a torrent, right click on "GET THIS TORRENT" and hit "copy link".
