README

          
A simple web browser that allows to show websites (of course)

and downloads content from torrents when clicking on magnet links.

This browser supports links into torrent content: `Click here`  

A magnet link / torrent files content can be browsed and displayed like a website.

New torrents can be created via drag&drop and then shared via magnet link.

This is an experiment to explore how web sites and P2P technology can be merged.

 * Ubuntu/Debian: `apt-get install python-libtorrent python-qt4`

Future plans:
