- therein 3y agoIs it just me or did WebRTC supporting clients cause a split in the BitTorrent clients? I come across many torrents that have a lot of seeders on the tracker and WebTorrent (in Brave and as a standalone app) is able to immediately connect to a ton of peers and begin downloading at high speeds while Transmission fails to find any peers even after a long time. The opposite also often happens, I see lots of seeders on the tracker. WebTorrent fails to connect to any clients while Transmission is able to connect to a ton of peers and download at high speeds. I observed this for a long time and then I remember reading somewhere that WebTorrent only supports connections over WebRTC and most other clients don't support WebRTC peering. I have UPnP working just fine. No hole-punching issues in the network. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
