Usually it shows around 1-2 peers on the player when I watch videos on PeerTube. I just watched a video that had up to 20 peers.

Here are the stats

Total downloaded: 1.5 GB
* From servers: 149 MB
* From peers: 1.3 GB
Total uploaded: 618 MB

I left the video open while writing this text an now I uploaded a total of 1.0 GB.

Nice to see PeerTube in action in a real peer to peer way.

Ah, are these the local stats for your computer traffic? Or is it a total for that particular video?

Er, yikes, over how much time?

Is your bandwidth uncapped?

You can disable the P2P feature.

This is for a 15 minute long video. I have unlimited bandwidth.

A lot of residential plans where I live only cap the downloads.

The hell? That's fucked up....

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean they probably throttle upload to 1/10th the bandwidth as download...
