This project is amazing, I have tested various times with success. Today however we tried to launch a broadcast which unexpectedly hit almost 1000 users. Everything crashed, and would not pick itself back up.. Please let me hire you to help me scale this properly. I have the following ideas on how to optimize/scale

  1. break down 7 manifest items into 2/3 so that theres less files to propogate and re-seed in p2p
  2. find a way that I can actually scale the live torrent system. For example folder sync accross multiple servers as root seeds. Please help as soon as possible I can hire via upwork or paypal services. You can contact me directly at breebeeborn2surf@aol.com

hello - I think the main issue scaling wise would be scaling the websocket "trackers". it's currently only relying on 1 tracker and I think the usage could get fairly high fairly quick.

Ideally you'd make the peers talk to each other (peer exchange in bittorrent), or even pre-send chunks of the stream, but that's outside of the scope of bittorrent (and I think webtorrent doesn't keep data-channels connections open nor available to be used at a higher level). That's not implemented though, and I'm not available for hiring
