does client.add seed after completion?

[dkobia]

client.add does is not seeding after the torrent is done. It does show up as a Peer, but none of the other peers seem to be able to connect to it.

Do I have to do anything special after the torrent is done or should I begin an explicit client.seed after the torrent is done? Does DHT need to be set to true?

client.add automatically seeds during and after the download is complete.

I assume you're using WebTorrent in Node.js. WebTorrent currently doesn't support the traditional methods of NAT hole punching (UPnP and NAT-PMP) that most torrent clients support. There's an issue about this here: #195. This might explain why peers outside your local network are unable to connect to your client.

As a workaround, you can set up Port Forwarding on your router.
