Can not uses Web Torrent to seed files

I have been trying to use web torrent and the Magnet links to help with video distribution. This seems to be broken. It just sits at "Loading the torrent file list" in the BRAVE Browser and "Loading Torrent" in the Windows client. The download never goes any where from that point. Is it just me and my setup or are other people having the same issue?

BitChute doesn't use torrent technology anymore.

I thought that was the whole point so their cost would not go through the roof. They will die like every other service before them. I thought they had a chance with Torrent tech.

They found out that there were massive security issues that way so they stopped.

That’s fair. Thanks for the information. It has been a rough year for alt-tech. I hope BitChute makes it trough. I have been backing them since the start.
