Privateer - The Download / Stream Manager

#python #node #windows #project

Have you ever wanted to find a good file on the internet and watch it without downloading? No? Well, I did. And this was the result. WebTorrent is an awesome lib that allows you to stream torrents directly in your broswer. It's fast, lightweight and written in Javascript. I created Privateer because I had a use case scenario where I didn't want to archive the torrent and just wanted to watch it without having to download anything.

Using the search page, you can find file indexes (link to where file is on streaming or download server) or stream files directly or download them. Just specify index to file you want and click 'play' or 'download' accordingly.
