Did you know that you can upload your videos to #peertube using #torrent? I just tried, as my connection is slow and I kept getting error by direct upload, and it works like a charm!

Sure, I just created the torrent with transmission, paste the magnet link on peertube and after a few minutes I was seeding the torrent. Once it got to 100% is was published in a matter of seconds really

Is it possible to do it the other way around? I don't really have any videos I want to publish, but I'd love to help the #PeerTube community by seeding specific videos in a #Bittorrent client.

Yes, if you download the torrent for the video and keep seeding you'll also stream the content whenever someone will be watching it!

But how do you download the torrent for the video? I don't reall #PeerTube giving a magnet link or anything like that...

Well, it depends on the uploader if he wants give permission to download but so far I've always seen the video being available to download with torrent.
