The brand new Torrents-Time browser plugin has helped The Pirate Bay take the industry of online video portal by storm as it has become the world’s largest video streaming platform.

The famous torrent website now embeds “Stream It” link with all the video torrents, with which users can play the videos in a window without leaving the site. Earlier this week, The Pirate Bay launched the new software and promised its users to provide them a revolutionary new way to use torrents.

Torrents-Time is basically a browser plugin that has been developed for Mac and Windows and lets users view torrents that are embedded in a web page, without needing any external torrent client. The team behind Torrents-Time promised that this new technology is going to transform any website into an easy-to-use streaming portal.

It was firstly applied on Popcorntime-Online.io, which is a browser-oriented edition of Popcorn Time. Popcorntime-Online.io used peer-to-peer transfers instead of the resource hungry HTTP. However, within few days an even more powerful partner has surfaced, The Pirate Bay.

Yesterday, The Pirate Bay transformed itself totally by becoming the first general torrent index to make use of Torrents-Time technology. Now, you can find Torrents-Time links with all of the video torrents on the website. This means users can watch videos without using any stand-alone torrent client or getting redirected from the website to another page.

The Torrents-Time links are labeled as “Stream It! (BETA)” and when this button is clicked, the user is prompted to install a software, if he hasn’t yet and then a popup window is displayed that contains the video player.

When the user clicks on the “Play” button, the site delivers an ad to buy a VPN that also warns the users that IP addresses are revealed and the user has the option to subscribe to the VPN for a selected duration (from a day to up to a year) or simply click the “close” button to skip.

Now, the software utilizes trackers, DHT, and PEX to identify other peers with the needed content. When it is successful in finding enough peers and manages to buffer enough content, the player then shows the video. The player also contains additional features along with basic functionalities such as casting and subtitling features for those having Chromecast, Airplay and DNLA devices to hand.

It is probably time for The Pirate Bay to enjoy some huge revenues after its enormous leap and the admiration that Torrents-Time has received from the torrent site users. It is already the world’s second largest torrent site after KAT and now it has become the world’s largest streaming portal.

Other websites that will be featuring Torrents-Time soon include Torrentproject.se, Videomax.is and Online.porntime.ws while Kickass Torrents’ team has also announced that it will be joining the club this Sunday or maybe Monday. The team at KAT told TorrentFreak that:
