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

Yes! Click on the download button under the video, select your desired resolution, click advaced, and you will have the option to download a .torrent file.
You can also right click on the video player and use the option to copy the video magnet link, but for some reason, when I tried this in the past, I never got any peers.
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 think it’s time I updated this. None of my Peertube torrents ever uploaded anything. @downdaemon@lemmy.ml
