I know libtorrent added webtorrent support a while back, how does it work? I tried it in qBittorrent and Transmission, and it downloads from the webseed only

    that’s the issue, i can’t tell if it’s uploading to peertube users, the Blender short video thing I watched has 7 peers but Tranmission showed 0 other than the webseed, qbittorrent showed 3 seeds but didn’t download from then

      I imagine the webseed would take priority in most BitTorrent implementations. I’ll seed some videos, and update this comment in a few days with how much they’ve been uploaded, if any.

        i know that works, but libtorrent, that most major apps use, is supposed to support it now too

          Is this working in your case? The PeerTube-videos I have in my seeds (qBittorrent 4.3.9) have 2 trackers: https & wss. But in case of secured WebTorrent (wss) I just get ‘unsupported URL protocol’ for every torrent. If I stream a video from my mobile device I don’t see any upload from my Torrent-client on the Desktop - anyway I see little leeching-activity from time to time.

            libtorrent has no support for WebSocket (WS/WSS). If you seed it to someone, she or he is not downloading via WebTorrent.
