If there is a webRTC session with video in the same browser webtorrent slows down extremly and crashes often while downloading.

Step by step:

  • seed a big file (1GB) on instant.io
  • dowload the torrent: download speed ca 10MB/s
  • open new tab and start a website with webRTC video ( appear.in )
  • download rate decreases to < 1MB/s
  • Chrome tab of webtorrent crashes after some seconds ...

What version of WebTorrent? 0.98.16 and reproduced also on instant.io

What operating system and Node.js version? Debian Jessie with node: v4.4.5
on my testserver but reproduced this on instant.io too.

What browser and version? (if using WebTorrent in the browser) Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) Linux (Firefox 52 seems to crash as well)

What did you expect to happen?
No crash and only slightly lower download-rates

What actually happened?
Download goes from 10MB/s to < 1MB/s and chrome tab of webtorrent crashes after several seconds

I think it's a Chromium webRTC bug but thought to post it here first to get second opinion.
Update: Firefox crashes as well

Such large torrent would be loaded to RAM fully. Maybe that's why (?)

I think that WebTorrent in Chrome works much better with large files thanks to recent Chrome updates, so I'm going to close this since it's been a while since it was opened.
