Site is back up! I set up TLS today and made DNS changes. :)

> Why not create a different protocol then if they're not yet compatible?

I want existing bittorrent clients to add WebRTC support. The task of convincing the existing clients to do this will be a lot easier if the protocol is unchanged except where absolutely necessary to accommodate the WebRTC signaling (peer introduction) process.

I don't want to get distracted by trying to improve the BitTorrent protocol itself. It works quite well, despite not being the most elegant for implementors.




Would you happen to have a working demo of the webtorrent.js in the browser?


Check out http://instant.io which is powered by WebTorrent


The site is down now. Did they kill it already ?
