I'm working on a 'new architecture for the crust'... I recommend all members and users to install the following software.
https://webtorrent.io/desktop ... verify you can see the 'Buck Bunny' video then turn it off (don't leave it on unless you want a lot of bandwidth bills -- you almost certainly want to be a "leech" unless you know what you are doing).
TURN IT OFF AFTER TESTING.
Web Torrent is a bit torrent client that runs in a browser (i.e. most people can use it if they have a link). It does *not* use the BitTorrent/Pirate Bay network and what it mostly allows is for people to watch videos in an uncensorable way (or grab content like images and PDFs), in their browsers, without being subject to (((well you know))). [[ Techies: the underlying tek is just WebRTC and there are a lot of complexities I'll discuss on a techie-level thread ]]
This is what 95% of crustal consumers want to have happen. 5% (or whatever) are content creators, and that's a harder path.
Watching the Culver's video from MacroTube on WebTorrent right now... 'It works for me'... explainations to follow
If you know how to use a magnet link (on WebTorrent, not BitTorrent python network!)
Code:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:88594aaacbde40ef3e2510c47374ec0aa396c08e&dn=bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.empire-js.us%3A1337&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com&ws=http%3A%2F%2Fdistribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net%2Fvideo%2Fmp4%2Fbbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4
Go to `instant.io` and just download using the magnet link.
You turn this software or if you want to look at something or download it. Or stand by for instructions on how to just link stuff and you WON'T NEED TO INSTALL OR DO ANYTHING JUST CLICK. That's what this is about for 99% of all people.
Private P2P filesharing can be done at this kind of link:
Click to share:
https://wormhole.app/beP3D#tH7iplRwLiEr1YugwitSBg <- if you can't download and view the mp4, let me know your problems in a DM (note this is a private sharing service and you might have to contact me for a test that it works, so I leave my side up - if the sender exits before the receiver receives, it doesn't work)
