This is a bug in Chrome. See: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=379206

You can workaround it by running a local server and visiting your site over localhost. You can use this npm module to do it:

$ npm install ecstatic -g
$ cd your-project
$ ecstatic

Because https://webtorrent.io is not served over file://. If you look in your location bar, you'll see that you are loading the site directly from your filesystem, which Chrome doesn't like.

If you install ecstatic, then it will run a local server for you, so you can visit your site at http://localhost:port so Chrome is happy.
