Do #torrent and #webtorrent overlap at all?
Is there a torrent client that can seed both? I've seen a couple of unresolved issues on clients like qbittorrent, but I'm wondering if there's one people use.
Same question, but also for the tracker side, is there tracker software that both clients can talk to?
I was also curious what archive.org uses, it turns out they have v1 torrents (not suprising considering how long they've been at it) and webseeds, but no webrtc tracker.
Part of me wonders if this is the best-case scenario, just a normal torrent file with webseeds for web-based clients (that can at least talk to each other)
For the record the use-case I have in mind is a kind of personal archive, nothing insanely resilient.
@errhead oddly enough I did check my own peertube. If you download the .torrent you'll see that #peertube acts as both a torrent and webtorrent tracker and includes the web seed.
This is almost perfect, but I don't think peertube lets you upload arbitrary content like PDFs / Folders of stuff.
I still haven't been able to get qbittorrent & webtorrent desktop to peer with each other, regardless of trackers used...as far as I can tell.
@Vo Do they still support that? Is the tracker they use public? As far as I understand qbittorrent can download webseeds perfectly fine, but I'm wondering if it (or any other torrent client) can support seeding to webrtc peers.
