>Web APIs don't provide the facilities necessary for a complete bittorrent stack. TCP and UDP sockets are essential (this thing uses webrtc, so it's not even bittorrent-compliant). While it's only available to privileged and certified apps, Mozilla's TCPSocket Web API[0] gives you (unsurprisingly, given the name) raw TCP sockets. The W3C also has a TCP and UDP Socket API[1] under development. Obviously, exposing raw TCP/UDP sockets to the open web is a Bad Idea but Web Apps are more than that.
