Javascript... Torrents... and Mad Science!
summary
Claims that BitTorrent DHT has ~10 million nodes and that streaming pieces from multiple peers fixes slow peers; shows working tools: torrent-stream (Node module for random-access streaming), peerflix (streams torrents to VLC live), Peerwiki (browses whole-Wikipedia torrent in realtime), torrent-mount (FUSE mount that boots an Ubuntu ISO in VirtualBox and feeds VLC subtitles). Demos succeed live and Webtorrent is in alpha for browser-only peers.
