Thanks for the awesome project once again. I was just wondering if it was possible to seed a folder in the browser. When I drag and drop a folder it says "1 file seeding" and then appears to be inactive. Thanks for your time.

This is more of an https://instant.io issue than a WebTorrent one.

It looks like we can support seeding folders (both via drag-and-drop and the file upload input) in Chrome. The non-standard FileSystem API makes this possible. Other browsers don't have any mechanism to do this, as far as I can tell.

I'm working on a PR to make this work in Chrome right now.

In other browsers, you can still upload multiple files and they'll be bundled into the same torrent. You just can't include any folders.
