Use WebSeed for the server

Open ctlaltdefeat opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

WebSeed is a BitTorrent extension that allows a server to seed a file through HTTP. By doing that, it seems it would be possible to serve all chunks using the magnet links without falling back on HTTP with the server.

So one main issue is that the manifest is constantly changing. Technically we could use BEP46 (mutable torrents) for that, but there's no support on webtorrent at the moment.

Will keep the issue open, so we can implement when it's added :+1:
