The CLI package exposes the same streaming-oriented torrent client as a `webtorrent` terminal command for Node.js users. ### Historique du projet The broader WebTorrent project started earlier as a browser-first BitTorrent client using WebRTC data channels and open web standards. The CLI repository and npm package were created in March 2016 to make that ecosystem available outside the browser while keeping the familiar WebTorrent streaming model. The README states the package's boundary clearly: WebTorrent itself is the browser-capable client, while `webtorrent-cli` is for using WebTorrent from the command line. It uses TCP, UDP, and WebRTC, so it can talk to traditional BitTorrent peers as well as web peers where the protocol bridge is available. ### Historique d'adoption WebTorrent CLI became useful to package-manager users who wanted a scriptable streaming torrent client rather than a desktop GUI. Its npm registry metadata shows continuous package history from 2016 through the 6.x line in 2026, and the GitHub repository remained active with releases through 2026. Adoption followed WebTorrent's larger pitch: media can begin playing before the whole torrent is downloaded, and seeking can fetch needed pieces on demand. The CLI made those traits available to terminal workflows, media-player handoff, and lightweight servers. ### Modes d'utilisation Typical usage is `webtorrent ` where the torrent id is a magnet URI, info hash, torrent file, or HTTP(S) URL. The CLI can download, seed, create torrents, and stream media to players or devices such as VLC, IINA, Chromecast, and AirPlay targets. In package-nerd contexts, WebTorrent CLI is a bridge between the Node.js P2P ecosystem and Unix shell habits: it lets users test WebTorrent behavior, seed files, stream public-domain media, or wire torrent downloads into scripts without opening a full desktop client. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent The package is notable because it packaged the WebTorrent idea as a single terminal command. That made WebRTC-aware torrenting inspectable and automatable in the same way older BitTorrent clients exposed daemon or CLI modes. ### Chronologie - 2013-10: Core `webtorrent` npm package created. - 2016-03: `webtorrent-cli` GitHub repository and npm package created. - 2024-06: 5.1.x releases published. - 2026-04: v6.0.0 published to npm and GitHub releases. ### Related projects - WebTorrent CLI is part of the WebTorrent family alongside the core `webtorrent` library, WebTorrent Desktop, Instant.io, and related WebRTC/BitTorrent tooling. It is a CLI counterpart to GUI clients such as WebTorrent Desktop and traditional BitTorrent clients such as Transmission or uTorrent. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Risque Geiger:** blue / moyen - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Détails de la base source - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** webtorrent-cli - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Scoop - extras/webtorrent: installed executable or alias match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/webtorrent.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Extras/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - WebTorrent.WebTorrentDesktop: installed executable or alias match | Windows Package Manager source index: WebTorrent.WebTorrentDesktop from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Liens liés - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/fr/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/fr/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/fr/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/fr/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [cmake](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ninja](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/ninja/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [transmission-cli](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/transmission-cli/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking, p2p, torrent-client. - [rtorrent](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/rtorrent/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking, p2p, torrent-client. - [mktorrent](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/mktorrent/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking, p2p. - [rqbit](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/rqbit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking, torrent-client. - [btpd](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/btpd/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking, p2p. - [librist](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/librist/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, streaming. - [srt](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/srt/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, streaming. - [aria2](https://pkg.so/fr/brew/aria2/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: bittorrent, cli, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
