Demo app: torrent.pizza

[berpj]

Hi,

I created https://torrent.pizza (code: https://github.com/berpj/torrent-pizza) using webtorrent. If you find it interesting, could it be added to the readme? :)

[DiegoRBaquero]

Interesting, streaming from server to client. (I hope you have unmetered bandwidth in your server)

May I ask why you didn't use WebTorrent's Sintel torrent hash to seed from your server too? 6a9759bffd5c0af65319979fb7832189f4f3c35d

How are you running your server (as I see it's in the webrtc network), if I may ask?

Do you know how to edit the README? If so, feel free to throw a PR :)

[berpj]

I can't remember why I did that, indeed it works: https://torrent.pizza/#6a9759bffd5c0af65319979fb7832189f4f3c35d 👍

It's currently hosted on AWS (EB). Not the cheapest solution, so if needed I'll migrate to an other hosting service.

Does it answer your last question?

I created a PR: #523

[DiegoRBaquero]

Ummm no. I mean, are you running the server with webtorrent-hybrid or how are you achieving that node connects to webrtc peers?

[rom1504]

@DiegoRBaquero it just doesn't (https://github.com/berpj/torrent-pizza/blob/master/server/package.json#L15), it just transmits the data by http to the browser

[DiegoRBaquero]

I'm scratching my head as to why it would work downloading from webrtc in a node app. Unless the server is ran inside something such as electron.

[rom1504]

why it would work downloading from webrtc in a node app

does it ?

[DiegoRBaquero]

I don't really know, I just seeded 2 files from both networks and I'm not uploading form either to TorrentPizza's server :/

[berpj]

Yes, I'm not using webrtc here. rom1504 is right.

At the moment streaming to the server and sending to the clients by http seems to be the best / only solution for cross-browser compatibility.

What file were you seeding? Does it work with a regular torrent client?

[DiegoRBaquero]

I was seeding a small mp4 video, from uTorrent and BTorrent (WebRTC client).

Maybe what failed was the discovery as we might not have been using the same trackers and DHT failed

[rom1504]

At the moment streaming to the server and sending to the clients by http seems to be the best / only solution for cross-browser compatibility.

The point of webtorrent is to avoid that though

[DiegoRBaquero]

@rom1504 My first thoughts exactly, although this is an interesting project. Similar to joker.org/bitport.io/(another one which I forgot the name) or peerflix -> web (@berpj you are using webtorrent, but it's for videos only)

[DiegoRBaquero]

I see you've closed it, so I'm gonna close this and the PR.
