Could you please make an update to be able to download multiple torrents like WebTorrent ?

bsuh commented 8 years ago

There's nothing wrong with calling torrentStream("magnet-link") multiple times.

benjaminrobinet commented 8 years ago

yes but the needed way should be engine.add("torrent"). Like webtorrent

hazcod commented 8 years ago

Are there any technical problems regarding having around 300-500 torrents running? Will there be 500+ connections open? And what about peerlists?

iadj commented 8 years ago

Also interested in this. Is it viable to use torrent stream for managing (down- and uploading) a large amount of torrents? i.e. use it as the core torrent component for a base torrent manager?

I'm using it in https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server with multiple instances sharing the same DHT

Good to hear. Thanks @asapach!
