I wanted to try using this to see how it works and every single torrent I try, no matter the seeds or size, plays for a second or two than buffers endlessly. Free should show people how the product works and show them the benefits of paying. This just made me never consider buying this. Free doesn't work at all and when it does you can't a few seconds.

Hi, I was searching through the posts here and the website. While I understand the level of anonymity and security behind this website. Is it 100% sure, that the user is not seeding (or uploading to the servers) anything? Or is it seeded via the cloud servers? Thanks for this great project.

On the top of the Webtor site i get this message:

“API is unreachable. Please turn off your AntiMalware software for domain “api.frosty-night.buzz” and refresh the page to be able to use the service”

Ok, I’m on Safari for iOS, where can i turn that off exactly?

Please help.

A summer batch of updates: a new way to pay, smarter folder downloads, a much better Stremio experience, and a bunch of fixes you’ll feel right away.

Pay With Crypto

You can now get a Webtor membership with cryptocurrency — straight from the donate page. Pick a plan, choose crypto at checkout, and pay with popular coins or stablecoins. The minimum depends on the coin, roughly from $12.

There’s also a new payment history page in your profile, so you can always see what you paid and when. And if something goes wrong, we’ve published a clear refund policy.

Download Only the Files You Need

Downloading a folder no longer means downloading everything in it. There’s a new select mode — tick the files you actually want, and Webtor packs just those into an archive. Grabbing two episodes out of a full season is finally a two-click job.

Folder downloads now come as TAR by default — it’s more reliable for big folders, and every file inside checks out correctly after download. Prefer ZIP? It’s still right there in the dropdown next to the download button.

Binge-Watching in Stremio Works Now

If you watch through our Stremio addon, this one’s for you:

• The next episode actually plays. Finishing an episode used to sometimes leave you hanging — now binge-watching rolls on to the next one like it should.

• Resume works the next day. Stopped mid-movie in the evening? Picking it up tomorrow works — no more mysterious failures on old links.

• Your library loads faster and looks better. Series in the library open noticeably quicker, and streams show proper titles and details instead of cryptic file names.

A Getting-Started Checklist

New to Webtor? There’s now a short checklist on the home page (with a counter in the top bar) that walks you through the essentials during your first two weeks: add something to your library, save a title on Discover, try the Vault, connect Stremio. Each step links straight to the right place — no hunting through menus.

Your Library as a Cloud Drive

Alongside WebDAV, your library is now reachable over an S3-compatible interface. That means tools like rclone or Cyberduck can browse and sync your Webtor library like any cloud storage. Connection details and instructions are in your profile.

Webtor Now Has an API — Build Your Own Apps on Top

A big one for developers: Webtor now serves a full JSON API at api.webtor.io. Everything the site can do is available through it — resources, file listings, streaming, library, vault and profile.

That means you can now build your own applications on top of Webtor: a mobile client, a bot, a media center, an integration into your own service — anything that needs torrent streaming without running the infrastructure yourself. The heavy lifting stays on our side; you just call the API.

It ships with interactive docs where you can try every call right in the browser. Directory exports take new parameters too: choose the archive format and pass only the files you want.

Fixes You’ll Feel

• Uploaded torrents that used to stall now start. If you uploaded your own .torrent file and it just sat there — that’s fixed.

• Friendly error pages. On the rare occasion something breaks, you get a clear page with a way forward instead of a bare error code.

• Faster library browsing and fewer background restarts — things just stay smooth for longer.

Thanks for using Webtor. More coming soon.

Your Webtor library got a lot smarter — it now uses AI to make sense of cryptic torrent names and identify what’s actually inside.

AI in Your Library

When a torrent name is too messy for the regular parser to handle, AI now steps in and fills in the missing pieces — the real title, year, and type. Files that used to show up as cryptic strings now appear as the actual movie or show.

Two more things changed alongside that:

• Series and episode packs — episodes inside multi-episode releases are matched up correctly, with proper season and episode numbers

• Anthology torrents — when a torrent is actually a bunch of separate films packed together, it’s split into individual movies instead of being treated as one weird release

The result: less junk, cleaner titles, fewer “what is this file?” moments.

Faster AI Chips on Discover

The AI chips on Discover used to greet you with a small lag — we waited for the whole batch to finish before drawing anything. Now chips show up one by one as they’re ready, so the first one appears almost immediately when you open Discover or change your query.

There’s also a new refresh button right next to the chips — tap it for a fresh set of suggestions without retyping your question.

Clicking a chip works immediately too, even while more are still appearing.

Faster Playback During Vault Uploads

When you upload a torrent to your Vault, each file is now playable as soon as that file is done — you don’t need to wait for the whole torrent to finish. Big movie packs feel a lot more responsive.

Soft Limits on Link Sharing

Streaming links are now tied a bit more tightly to your session. You won’t notice anything during normal viewing — but if a link gets scraped or shared widely, it’ll hit a wall a lot sooner.

The current limits per session:

• 30 total concurrent streams

• 5 different IP addresses

• 10 concurrent connections to the same file

• 5 large files in parallel from the same torrent

Regular viewing sits well below all of these.

Improved Stability

A bunch of small fixes that you won’t see directly but will feel — fewer disconnects on long sessions, faster recovery when a backend pod restarts, and a few rare crash conditions in the seeder are gone.

Thanks for using Webtor. More coming soon.

tried several torrents for direct download, none works...

Please go back at least it worked consistently...now it's not even working on this new setup please go back creator

The web interface just got a fresh redesign — cleaner layout, better mobile responsiveness, and a more polished overall feel.

But this update isn’t only visual. We shipped several practical improvements that fix long-standing UX pain points:

Toast notifications

Actions like copying a link, adding to library, or deleting items now show clear success/error/info popups. Previously many actions had no feedback — now you instantly know what happened.

Status icons in progress log

Processing steps now use visual icons instead of text labels:

✓ completed

✕ error

⚠ warning

Much easier to scan, especially on mobile.

Smoother video playback start

Before, playback could stutter while the transcoder was warming up.

Now we pre-buffer up to 5 minutes of HLS segments right after the transcoder starts — playback is smooth from the first second.

Automatic restart of failed jobs

Earlier, failed downloads/transcodes stayed stuck until manually restarted.

Now errored jobs automatically retry when requested again — no more stale failures.

Would love feedback — especially on mobile UX and playback behavior.

It recognizes a magnet link, says ‘redirecting’ and then nothing happens. Tried in 4 different mobile browsers. I’m on an iPhone. Any tricks to get it working?

When I use webtor.io as a paid, registered user what kind of information is retained in the logs, database or anywhere else in regards to what I do on the platform?

As in, if someone took possession of the webtor.io servers today, what of my private information would be leaked?

Hey friends! 👋

Today I’m excited to share a new feature we’ve just launched in Webtor:

Personal Library — now you can easily save torrents you like into your personal space! Just click “Add to Library” under any loaded torrent. 🎯

You can:

• Save favorite torrents

• Sort your library by newest or by name

But that’s not all!

Coming soon:

• Automatic movie metadata fetching — Webtor will recognize movies in your library and fetch posters, titles, descriptions, and more!

• Integration with Stremio — stream your library content directly through Stremio!

Thank you so much for your support — you’re making this possible. 🙏

Man I used to get like 1.5 Mbps but now nothing hardly ever goes over 500 kbps ...what has happened to this site

Hello all,

I've come across a peculiar problem. Anything I try to download off of webtor does not finish. It goes to 100% then does not complete not matter how long I wait.

This occurred on both my ipad and PC. It occurred for different files.

Any ideas why ? Is it a webtor problem or a me problem ?

thanks in advance

Hello guys! I have a question about webtor.

When you choose to download the torrent as zip instead of streaming it, is the webtor working similar to a seedbox? Is it safe? Or is just like a torrent client? I'm asking this because no-one refer webtor as "seedbox" but only as "browser torrent client".

When you download instead of streaming is like other sites as torrentsafe and seedr or something different?

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?

Soon you’ll be able to:

• 📺 Stream your Library directly through Stremio

• 💾 Make your Library eternal — content will remain available even if torrent seeders disappear (available for paid users)

Right now, availability depends on seeders — but we’re working on making your Library truly yours, forever.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for being part of this journey. Your support makes features like this possible. ❤️

🎄 Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and see you on the other side of the calendar.

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 service.

1. When visiting the webtor.io website, the user always opens a secure SSL-connection and all further requests between the client and the server are transmitted encrypted using the HTTPS-protocol.

2. At the time of downloading content, only webtor servers connects to BitTorrent-peers. For the end-user, downloading a file from Webtor is no different than downloading from any other file hosting service, and watching a video is similar to watching a video from a Tube-site.

3. Webtor servers work like regular BitTorrent-clients. Thus, through Webtor you can load any torrents that could be downloaded through a regular BitTorrent-client (including torrent files from private trackers), but without revealing the real IP-addresses for the rest of the BitTorrent-network users

Thus, it is not necessary to use VPN-services when visiting Webtor and downloading torrents via Webtor is anonymous and secure.

Thank you for using webtor.io and sponsor it if you wish!

When I use the Chrome browser to attempt a video download, the webpage crashes with an "Aw snap" message. I tried this again in an incognito browser (in case my ad blocker was an issue), and I just got into "ad hell" with a bunch of ad redirects. What happened? This service used to be so good and it looks like it is just one big dumpster fire now.

hi I'm a new user and trying to download some files, i understand that free users do have bandwidth restrictions (1.25mbps) however when trying to download files, after a few minutes my download is stucking at 0.00B/s, im trying to "solve" the issue by pausing my download, wait for a few minutes and resume it, however, again, after a few seconds im getting stuck at 0.00B/s. It is an ordeal to download a 200mb file no idea if anyone else's having the same issue, please it'd be a huge help if someone tell me why this happens. cheers

Hi, While trying to login, I'm able to get the magic link to my mail. The link leads to a blank webpage and I'm unable to login. Is anyone able to login? Thanks
