Why does this need a server? Isn't the point to be able to add a torrent and start watching immediately?

Browsers can't make torrent connections, or any others for that matter. Except for HTTP and WebRTC.

WebTorrent is a hack to run torrent protocol over WebRTC, but obviously it only connects to other WebTorrent programs and not to normal torrent programs. I think PeerTube uses it.
