Tried it on a Breaking Bad video and it works like a charm. Question for the author, are you sharing while streaming? Can your IP also be tracked like a normal torrent client? Thanks.

if you mean the client's ip then the answer is NO! it's made especially for the guys that can't download torrents. well, the swarm, the peer connection and everything is implemented from scratch, i could do upload but i'm not
Can you explain how it gets the content then?
TL;DR Asks for the packets in the torrent in order and sends them to the client, caching the location of the peers for future use
Well, it's a torrent client that uses some specific trackers instead of using dht for the swarm, after he gets the peers he requests the packets in order that are send to a stream, that stream is sent to anyone that requests it.
Do you have a non tl;dr version, this is HN, we do like to read here.

How does it not get the ip?
