Webtor + Torrentio = ⚡ (instant streaming inside Stremio)

Big milestone! 🎉

We’ve just made Webtor and Torrentio (and other Stremio addons) work together  🚀

Now Webtor can stream not only your library, but also any content coming from Stremio addons.

Here’s how it works under the hood:

  1. Webtor queries all your connected Stremio addons (up to 3)

  2. Duplicates are removed (deduplication)

  3. Results are filtered by your preferred quality (720p / 1080p...

🔗 WebDAV is here!

Thanks to your support, another big feature just landed — WebDAV access to your Webtor library.

You can now mount your whole torrent collection as a network folder on desktop or mobile. Stream directly from your library — or just copy your stuff locally.

And yes — you can upload new torrents too — just drop .torrent files into the torrents/ folder. That’s it. 🤘

🧩 Works great with:

🔥 New: Watch your torrents on TV – with Stremio!

We’ve been slowly moving toward this — and now it’s finally here.

The personal library feature was just a stop on the way.

The real goal was always this: streaming your own torrents directly on your TV, with no downloads, no VPN, and no torrent client. Just press play.

And now it works. It’s been live for a full day in production — and I’m absolutely happy with how it performs.

🎉 Library just got a major upgrade!

Hey friends! 👋

We’ve just released a huge improvement to Webtor Library — and we think you’re going to love it.

Now, when you open your Library, you’ll see new sections for Movies and Series — automatically created based on the torrents you’ve added.

It’s a cleaner, smarter way to browse your saved content.

No more endless torrent lists — just organized, beautiful media.

What’s next?

New Transcoding System 🥳

We’ve revamped the transcoding system and introduced some exciting new features:

1. Faster Transcoding Startup

Previously, transcoding was initiated in a separate container, which took additional time to launch. Now, transcoding starts immediately without delays.

2. Efficient Caching

Transcoding results are now cached more effectively. Content is only removed when it’s no longer in use, rather than based on a fixed time limit.

Maximum download speed increased!

I am happy to announce that from today maximum download speed was increased for all tiers:

Backer Essential: 15Mbps

Generous Backer: 50Mbps

But don't forget that real download speed also depends on speed of BitTorrent-peers and it could be lower than maximum.

Anonymous and Secure 🔒

Quite often I get asked questions about how secure it is to use Webtor and how does using Webtor differ from using a regular BitTorrent.

It also turned out that in some countries the use of BitTorrent-networks for downloading this or that content can be potentially dangerous and lead to substantial fines (eg in Germany).

To understand this issue, let’s understand the principles of the webtor.io ...
