webtorrent support #717

Open lzbk opened 6 years ago

lzbk commented 6 years ago

Is there any chance rtorrent will be able to work with webtorrent in the foreseeable future ?

Due to the existence of peertube (like mentioned in #679), I think it's important that regular bittorrent clients are able to interact with the platform.

I'm mentioning @feross in the issue, just in case the people at webtorrent are able to lend a hand.

(thanks for all the work done and for all the ongoing work on rtorrent !)

Have a PR with changes?

tuxayo commented 5 years ago

We need at least to have a green-light from @rakshasa that the feature is desired in the project. Then eventually someone with the resources could try something.

I'd love to see this implemented, it would be a game changer for webtorrent because currently no other supported client can handle thousands of torrents.

So this is never going to happen right? :(

Looks like libtorrent support will be available fairly soon. https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/4123

No progress here? waiting for it since my seedbox (seedbox.io) uses it.

it's not the same:

"libTorrent" redirects here. It is not to be confused with libtorrent.

@rakshasa can you tell if such support would be desirable or if you can already tell that you won't have the time to review such large changes?
