Ha yeah. Everyone pointed that out the first time this came up and I guess he ignored the feedback.

I actually find it seriously impressive. It demonstrates it works for you right now, and it works seamlessly!

It is impressive, and in a sense it's a very... effective... demo. The problem is that not all of us are in a position to spend that much bandwidth by accident.

It's impressive, but it doesn't necessarily actually download the file from webtorrent peers. It will happily do HTTP streaming, instead.

It works fine for me even though my browser is configured to block third party traffic by default.
