Hi @htorbov

As mentioned in the API documentation, calling torrent.createServer() creates a HTTP server which dynamically downloads the needed torrent pieces to fulfill the HTTP request.

This means that using your example code, you are downloading the torrent's content to your webtorrent-hybrid client and then are serving the downloaded content from the server to the client who is making the HTTP request. The browser client isn't downloading the torrent directly, it's being "proxied" through the webtorrent-hybrid client as a webseed.

This functionality allows the initial seeding of content into the WebTorrent WebRTC swarm which is only currently being seeded on the BitTorrent TCP/UDP swarm.

Instant.io is a good, existing and usable, example to demonstrate how to gather and display the torrents statistics as you're wanting to display.

If you need any further help with this, feel free to continue the discussion in this thread and I'll happily help but as you have mentioned, this is a question and not a issue, so I'm going to close this.

Kind regards
Brad
