### Streaming torrent client (with WebRTC support in Node.js)

In node.js, the `webtorrent` package only connects to normal TCP/UDP peers, not WebRTC peers. If you want to connect to all types of peers, including WebRTC peers, from node.js, you need to use this package (`webtorrent-hybrid`).

## Install

To install WebTorrent:

```bash

npm install webtorrent-hybrid

```

To install a `webtorrent-hybrid` command line program, run:

```bash

npm install webtorrent-hybrid -g

```

## Usage

`webtorrent-hybrid` has the same command line interface (CLI) and module API as

[`webtorrent`](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent). Just `import WebTorrent from 'webtorrent-hybrid'`

instead of `import WebTorrent from 'webtorrent'`.

See the [WebTorrent docs](https://webtorrent.io/docs).
