Webtorrent in Meteor fails when loaded via NPM. Not via CDN

[FinnFrotscher]

When I import the webtorrent package via import WebTorrent from 'webtorrent' and try to set up the package with var client = new WebTorrent() I get

tcp-pool.js:22 Uncaught TypeError: net.createServer is not a function

But when I use $.ajax() to load the CDN hosted version it works.

This is both clientside running Meteor 1.3.

• WebTorrent version: newest NPM version
• Node.js version: Meteor 1.3 is 0.10.43
• Browser name/version (if using WebTorrent in the browser): Chrome, newest

Add
When I use meteor npm and import, and then console.log(webtorrent) I get the function back and i also have the required files. index.js starts with:

module.exports = WebTorrent
//stuff
function WebTorrent (opts) {
var self = this
if (!(self instanceof WebTorrent)) return new WebTorrent(opts)
EventEmitter.call(self)`
//asf...

but i cant use it.

I did some digging and it looks like Meteor doesn't support the "browser" field in package.json fully, so it's not properly replacing the needed files with browser versions during the packaging process.

I left a comment on the relevant Meteor issue for you. meteor/meteor#6890 You can follow that issue, or share more information there to help the Meteor devs prioritize the issue.

@FinnFrotscher seems like the issue hasn't been fixed yet on Meteor side. Have you found a temporary solution? Did you keep it via CDN? Thanks
