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
A free software to take back control of your videos
Peertube is an open, federated alternative to Youtube without advertising or tracking. On this site, you can find a good Peertube instance, with good rules, good moderation and most importantly a friendly community.
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
