When i add torrent file in http://instant.io/ it doesn't start it although CLI is working perfectly. What is the problem?

Is the torrent being seeded by a webrtc-capable client, i.e. webtorrent-hybrid or instant.io?

In the browser, WebTorrent can only download torrents that are explicitly seeded to the WebTorrent network. Desktop torrent clients need to support WebRTC to peer with web browsers.
