Share to all (WebTorrent) #79

Feature Request

I love the clean theme, the avatars, names, make it look very high end.

The only thing that I find is missing is a "Share to all" functionality, where anyone in the room can access the file over the WebTorrent protocol, permitting peers to also seed the file between themselves and put less strain on the original uploader.

I saw a similar post under #36, although that seems to be more for maintenance reasons.

You're probably looking for File.Pizza then.

MarcusCemes commented 4 years ago

While file.pizza solves that front through BitTorrent technologies, it lacks the polished look and visual control over who exactly you're sharing to.

There is also https://instant.io/ which uses WebTorrent.

I tried to send a 20 GB file with File.Pizza, instant.io and ShareDrop. The first 2 seem to create a torrent internally, which takes forever. ShareDrop starts do send the file directly. I strongly prefer to keep that behavior!
