wrong URL:

Error message

wrong URL: 

What it means

Webtorrent streamHandle's URL-shape guard: the parsed query string's 'share' parameter is shorter than 8 chars or 'pwd' shorter than 4. These are the minimum lengths for a usable webtorrent share ID and password, so the URL is treated as malformed and rejected before any peer connection is made.

Solutions

1. Fix the webtorrent://...?share=...&pwd=... URL to include full-length share and password values
2. Copy the share link verbatim from the source that generated it
3. Validate share/pwd lengths client-side before configuring the source
