Poor downloading - migration to webtorrent

[aurimus]

Any reason why same torrent with many seeders would be downloading 10x faster on Transmission than on Popcorn? It seems just randomly slow or fast, but 9 out of 10 - slow.

I honestly have no idea why that is slower than transmission.

[pRieStaKos]

I confirm this issue exists

[aurimus]

usually very small number of connected peers

[YIFYtorrents]

use google cloud if you want faster downloads

[aurimus]

[YIFYtorrents]

Error

The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported

Go to your popcorntime directory desktop and paste/replace libffmpegsumo.so in it.

that would be great, Do you have a link to your repo?

[vzamanillo]

Yes but will be dead soon, I will change to official popcorn and move all my changes / enhancements on because is still a community.

[pRieStaKos]

I'm using PopcornTime CE to watch a tv episode and some of them having poor connections or few peers. But when I click the magnet and download the episode through torrent client, peers are not so few and download speed is as expected.

You should check it why this is happenging. Is there a limit gap on peers or speed ?

@vzamanillo what do you mean with changing to official popcorn?

[vzamanillo]

The official PCT is working very hard migrating to new NW.js version fixing all issues to release an improved app. This fork is dead and is not a community, you can do a request, PRs, anything... No response. I don't know why the people is still waiting anything here.
