Did you know that you can upload your videos to using ? I just tried, as my connection is slow and I kept getting error by direct upload, and it works like a charm!

@botaflo Sure, I just created the torrent with transmission, paste the magnet link on peertube and after a few minutes I was seeding the torrent. Once it got to 100% is was published in a matter of seconds really

@arteteco

Is it possible to do it the other way around? I don't really have any videos I want to publish, but I'd love to help the #PeerTube community by seeding specific videos in a #Bittorrent client.

@Blort Yes, if you download the torrent for the video and keep seeding you'll also stream the content whenever someone will be watching it!

@arteteco

But how do you download the torrent for the video? I don't reall #PeerTube giving a magnet link or anything like that...

@Blort Well, it depends on the uploader if he wants give permission to download but so far I've always seen the video being available to download with torrent.

@arteteco
Ah, of course! I forgot the download button offered the . Torrent file as an option as well as the actual video file. Very cool!
