I've been trying for a while now to integrate torrents properly into lemmy, just need more time for testing and demonstration. Torrents really are the only way forward for video content, youtube will just keep getting worse and worse.
That's an interesting concept. Thought how will it work for mobile users? Uploading there is often costly, both in the limited data plan and battery life.
Like most torrents currently... most seeders have lots of HD space and network bandwidth, and are happy to share to the occasional leech as long as the torrents stay alive.
Also there are some mobile clients like libretorrent that can be set to turn on only when plugged in.
Ok, but.. hmm. Do you have statistics on the share between desktop and mobile users? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think most browse lemmy from a phone. Most torrents work fine because most torrenters do that on a PC, but relatively very few on a phone. I'm honestly interested if you have some info on that.
In any case, I hope it works out because I would love if it would. Thanks for your work!
There are lots of torrent clients for android, even ones like stremio and and a few others that can stream torrent videos.
What happened?
Well at least Peertube is already using torrents
Just a similar tech. Few years ago they transitioned to something else for peer to peer load balancing.
