Didn't have time to look through the DOM. Is this a javascript torrent client? I think there was one out there in the wild before, but I'm not sure how good it was. I always thought if there was a simple JS torrent library out there, Bit torrent could make a comeback.

According to this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4776112/is-it-possible-to...), it's not possible to build a bittorrent client in javascript.

That was true in 2011, when the question was asked and answered.

For recent developments, take a look at http://webtorrent.io
