Answer 1

You could use torque. It's not pure javascript, but quite powerful.

Check out http://onehash.com/ for an example of exactly what you want to do.

For a pure javascript implementation (I believe limited to chrome), check out jstorrent:

Answer 2

You could do it manually or try writing some server software that extracts the torrent. If you find out how to do that, then try to do it ahead of time instead of each time at run-time.
