Webtor
$9.00 / month with a 7-day free trial and a $1.00 sign-up fee
Stream torrent content in your browser — no client, no downloads, no exposing your home IP to swarms.
A managed Webtor instance hosted on ElfHosted. Drop in a magnet link or .torrent and stream the contents directly in your browser, mount the torrent library over WebDAV for native players (Infuse, Kodi, VLC), or grab files as a single ZIP. All peer-to-peer traffic happens server-side — your home IP never touches the swarm.
Browser-based torrent streaming and WebDAV mounts, hosted. Useful when you want to play something quickly without installing a torrent client, or when you don't want your home IP in a public peer swarm.
What is Webtor?
Webtor is an open-source, browser-based torrent client. Paste a magnet link or upload a .torrent and Webtor's server downloads the pieces it needs and streams the content back to your browser as a video player, audio player, or file browser. Nothing lands on your local disk; nothing peers from your home connection.
The hosted ElfHosted version exposes the same Webtor UI on your own subdomain, plus a WebDAV endpoint you can mount in apps like Infuse, Kodi, or VLC to play torrent content as if it were a local library.
Key Features
- 🌐 Stream in any browser: Webtor's player handles common video and audio formats with seek support — no transcoding setup, no client to install.
- 🗂️ WebDAV mount: mount your active torrents as a network drive in Infuse, Kodi, VLC, or any WebDAV-aware app.
- 🔒 Server-side peering: peer-to-peer traffic happens on ElfHosted infrastructure. Your home IP isn't exposed to the public swarm.
- 📦 ZIP export: download a torrent's contents as a single ZIP archive when you want files locally.
- 📚 Personal library: Webtor remembers what you've added and organises it into a browseable per-account library.
- 🧩 API + browser extension: for users who want to wire Webtor into their own scripts or one-click magnet handling.
Who Is Webtor For?
Webtor is a standalone tool, not part of the Personal Media Stack family. It makes sense if any of these match:
- You want to play a torrent once without committing to a Sonarr/Radarr setup.
- You want torrent peering to happen on a server, not your home IP.
- You use Infuse, Kodi, or VLC and want a WebDAV source for torrent content.
- You don't have (or don't want) a Real-Debrid or Usenet workflow.
If you're after a curated automated library, look at the Personal Media Stack bundles instead — Webtor doesn't replace those.
Why Run Webtor on ElfHosted?
Self-hosting Webtor needs a server with enough bandwidth and disk for transient torrent caches, plus a public endpoint with TLS so Infuse/Kodi/VLC can mount the WebDAV reliably. ElfHosted handles all of that:
- 125Mbps server-side bandwidth — fine for typical streaming use.
- TLS-terminated reverse proxy on your own subdomain; WebDAV works from anywhere.
- Updates and image rebuilds managed by ElfHosted.
- SSO on the Webtor UI — your account is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a torrent?
Paste a magnet link or upload a .torrent file in the Webtor UI. Webtor begins fetching pieces and presents the content as soon as enough is buffered for streaming.
Can I use this with Infuse / Kodi / VLC?
Yes — Webtor exposes a WebDAV endpoint. Add it as a network share in your player and the active torrents appear as a normal file tree.
Is my home IP exposed to torrent swarms?
No. All peer-to-peer traffic terminates at the ElfHosted server. Your local network is not in the swarm.
Does this replace Sonarr/Radarr?
No. Webtor is for one-off plays and casual browsing — it has no automation, no library management, and no metadata matching. If you want a curated library, get a Personal Media Stack.
Can I download files locally?
Yes — alongside streaming, Webtor offers a ZIP-export option that bundles a torrent's contents into a single download.
Does it work with private trackers?
Webtor is designed for public magnets and torrents. Private-tracker workflows that require seeding ratios are not in scope.
Hosted Webtor is the simplest way to stream torrent content in a browser, mount it in Infuse/Kodi/VLC, or pull it as a ZIP — without installing a torrent client or putting your home IP in the swarm. A standalone product, not part of the Personal Media Stack family.

Zurg [Standalone]
Real-Debrid as a real filesystem — for the media server you already have.
A managed Zurg instance that turns your Real-Debrid account into a browseable WebDAV filesystem. Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Infuse, Kodi — anything that reads files — sees your RD library as a normal mount. No media server included; if you want Zurg + a media server bundled, look at Zurgling instead. Bring your own Real-Debrid subscription.
NzbDav [Standalone]
Add Usenet to a Personal Media Stack that came with Decypharr — without doubling your storage bill.
A managed NzbDav instance: a virtual filesystem that exposes your Usenet library over WebDAV, so Sonarr/Radarr can stream NZBs in place instead of downloading them. If your Personal Media Stack shipped with Decypharr (the Real-Debrid side), NzbDav adds Usenet alongside it — same arr stack, two content sources. Bring your own Usenet provider account.
SABnzbd
Hosted SABnzbd — the classic Usenet downloader, with your cloud storage as the destination.
A managed SABnzbd instance hosted on ElfHosted. Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr push NZBs to SABnzbd, which downloads, repairs, and unpacks them into your connected cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, S3, B2, anything rclone supports). Files actually land — unlike NzbDav's stream-in-place model. Bring your own Usenet provider account.
Decypharr [Standalone]
Add Real-Debrid to a Personal Media Stack that came with NzbDav — without changing what already works.
A managed Decypharr instance: a qBittorrent-API shim that routes Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr requests to your Real-Debrid account. If your Personal Media Stack shipped with NzbDav (the Usenet side), Decypharr adds Real-Debrid alongside it — same arr stack, two content sources. Bring your own Real-Debrid subscription.
CatBox [Standalone]
The TorBox-safe way to plug Sonarr/Radarr into a Plex/Jellyfin/Emby library — without violating TorBox's 30-day retention policy. Bring your own TorBox account.
A managed CatBox instance: a TorBox-backed library shim that fills the same role Decypharr plays for Real-Debrid, but with an architecture designed specifically for TorBox's policies. Sonarr/Radarr submit releases via the qBittorrent API, CatBox virtualises them as symlinks, and only materialises the real file in your TorBox account when you actually press play.
This standalone CatBox does not include a TorBox subscription — you bring your own paid TorBox account and paste the API key into CatBox. If you'd like TorBox included in the price, see the Hobbit / Ranger / Halfling / Nazgul bundles with the TorBox variation — those ship CatBox + TorBox + arrs + media server as one bundled stack.
