A summer batch of updates: a new way to pay, smarter folder downloads, a much better Stremio experience, and a bunch of fixes you’ll feel right away.
Pay With Crypto
You can now get a Webtor membership with cryptocurrency — straight from the donate page. Pick a plan, choose crypto at checkout, and pay with popular coins or stablecoins. The minimum depends on the coin, roughly from $12.
There’s also a new payment history page in your profile, so you can always see what you paid and when. And if something goes wrong, we’ve published a clear refund policy.
Download Only the Files You Need
Downloading a folder no longer means downloading everything in it. There’s a new select mode — tick the files you actually want, and Webtor packs just those into an archive. Grabbing two episodes out of a full season is finally a two-click job.
Folder downloads now come as TAR by default — it’s more reliable for big folders, and every file inside checks out correctly after download. Prefer ZIP? It’s still right there in the dropdown next to the download button.
Binge-Watching in Stremio Works Now
If you watch through our Stremio addon, this one’s for you:
- The next episode actually plays. Finishing an episode used to sometimes leave you hanging — now binge-watching rolls on to the next one like it should.
- Resume works the next day. Stopped mid-movie in the evening? Picking it up tomorrow works — no more mysterious failures on old links.
- Your library loads faster and looks better. Series in the library open noticeably quicker, and streams show proper titles and details instead of cryptic file names.
A Getting-Started Checklist
New to Webtor? There’s now a short checklist on the home page (with a counter in the top bar) that walks you through the essentials during your first two weeks: add something to your library, save a title on Discover, try the Vault, connect Stremio. Each step links straight to the right place — no hunting through menus.
Your Library as a Cloud Drive
Alongside WebDAV, your library is now reachable over an S3-compatible interface. That means tools like rclone or Cyberduck can browse and sync your Webtor library like any cloud storage. Connection details and instructions are in your profile.
Webtor Now Has an API — Build Your Own Apps on Top
A big one for developers: Webtor now serves a full JSON API at api.webtor.io. Everything the site can do is available through it — resources, file listings, streaming, library, vault and profile.
That means you can now build your own applications on top of Webtor: a mobile client, a bot, a media center, an integration into your own service — anything that needs torrent streaming without running the infrastructure yourself. The heavy lifting stays on our side; you just call the API.
It ships with interactive docs where you can try every call right in the browser. Directory exports take new parameters too: choose the archive format and pass only the files you want.
Fixes You’ll Feel
- Uploaded torrents that used to stall now start. If you uploaded your own .torrent file and it just sat there — that’s fixed.
- Friendly error pages. On the rare occasion something breaks, you get a clear page with a way forward instead of a bare error code.
- Faster library browsing and fewer background restarts — things just stay smooth for longer.
Thanks for using Webtor. More coming soon.
