BitTorrent protocol doesn't work over WebRTC #4

Closed YIFYtorrents closed 8 years ago

YIFYtorrents commented 8 years ago

It's not yet possible to use the WebRTC for the BitTorrent protocol. Read this: https://github.com/feross/webtorrent/issues/39

The problem is YIFY uses BitTorrent and not WebRTC. How you gonna solve the problem?

KeizerDev commented 8 years ago

Yeah, but it is possible with a tracker to port it to it's other protocol. We just need another tracker for it. Nothing more

YIFYtorrents commented 8 years ago

Does WebRTC also support DHT ? BTW I can setup a tracker, I have the resources. Can you open a chat room for this repo?

alxhotel commented 8 years ago

WebTorrent can not "talk with" a BitTorrent client, for now.

Don't know what "a tracker to port to it's other protocol" means, but I think you should take a different approach

@alxhotel @YIFYtorrents Check out this issue https://github.com/feross/webtorrent/issues/466

KeizerDev commented 8 years ago

@YIFYtorrents I've added a chat. If you want to talk secretly you should mail me first and we will talk about the opportunities. BTW, you can have a private conversation on Gitter!

We can use https://github.com/feross/webtorrent-hybrid to make it all work! Check out this image: The protocol

alxhotel commented 8 years ago

Sure.

Btw, if we want this project to have a long life, we should stay away from copyright infringement. At least, until we have something useful.

Don't you think? @KeizerDev

@alxhotel True, I can make some private repo's, but I first need more devs who are willing to spend time on it.
