We use torrent more often than ever before. This is because of the media content which we strive to watch and listen to. For this, you need a torrent client, which will download the whole stuff and then you can use or watch it, which means you have to wait until it completes the downloading. Here WebTorrent comes into the picture as it allows you to watch or listen to any media content right after you add the magnet link or torrent file in the application. So in this quick guide, you will learn, how to install Webtorrent in Linux and streaming videos and audio files directly from torrent.
