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.
CatBox [Standalone]
The TorBox-safe way to plug Sonarr/Radarr into a Plex/Jellyfin/Emby library — without violating TorBox’s 30-day retention policy. Includes a complimentary TorBox Essential account, or use your existing 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.
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.
Balrog [Standalone]
Standalone Balrog for existing ElfHosted personal media stacks that want Debridge-backed cached streaming.
Balrog is ElfHosted’s bridge between Arr-based personal media stacks and Debridge. It is designed for existing Hobbit/Ranger/Halfling/Nazgul-style stacks that want Debridge as the BYOK orchestration path, with BYO debrid accounts supplying the routes Debridge can orchestrate. Debridge/Balrog is beta and rollout is intentionally limited while we validate stability and scale.
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.
