It will be good if you add this feature, where you can specify if you want to make it download all chunks through torrent. meaning using webTorrent in server side too , because i tried it and i found that it always download 90% directly from the server sometimes more, it only download less than 10% from other clients. thanks for the great work.

That's something that's tricky to handle - you want your stream to happen without breaks, and making it p2p-only might make it very choppy...

Although I have to agree, there are still lots of improvements that can be done on the p2p side ; I'll rename that issue to keep track of the improvements that can be done.

thanks, if i want to make it p2p-only do i need to change both sw.js and loader.js ? because manifest.m3u8 will contain only magnet links, i managed to edit sever side files but i have problem understanding sw.js and loader.js, i'll appreciate if you can make an other version of sw.js and loader.js who works only with magnet links. thanks a lot
