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
Hey people, I would like to seed some videos, but for the love of me I don’t understand where to get magnet link / torrent file from. I can’t find it in the web interface (only direct download behind the download button). Could it be disabled by my intance’s admin by any chance? Can we have an update on this topic please 
?
Nevermind I’m blind. For other people like me: it is hidden in the “Video Files” download option, under “More information / options”.
Why is this hidden so far away? Should be the first option
