SpawnDev.BlazorJS.WebTorrents brings the amazing WebTorrent library to Blazor WebAssembly.
WebTorrent is a streaming torrent client for node.js and the browser. YEP, THAT'S RIGHT. THE BROWSER. It's written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – so the same code works in both runtimes.
SpawnDev.BlazorJS.WebTorrents is a collection of JSObject wrappers that allow access to the Javascript WebTorrent library. The interfaces are nearly identical. Intellisense documentation is included.

Very basic example that adds a torrent magnet, waits for the torrent metadata to be retrieved and shows information about the torrents files. Then, the torrent and all related data is destroyed.
