Download via torrent and seed to streamers?

When you download a video via torrent (download, not stream), and you leave your torrent client seeding the videos, can the seeding go toward people who are streaming the video?

If not, would it be possible and are there any plans to implement this?

I was thinking it would be really cool and useful to be able to help the people who are streaming the videos by seeding the videos.

You just need a BitTorrent client that implements WebTorrent: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/369

the FAQ has a quick note about it: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#can-i-seed-videos-with-my-classic-bittorrent-client-transmission-rtorrent
