Seriously, someone needs to upload Seinfeld now. Can you?
Not until ipfs is implemented.
IPFS implementation itself is finished but has not been enabled for TV shows yet as they function somewhat different with our current setup.
When submitting a ipfs hash instead of a magnet link, the proper format is ipfs:{hash}. We will be offering full tutorials on how to set up your own ipfs node for those who are interested in seeding content in the coming days. Right now our priority is getting support for TV shows added and continuing to test the stability and scalability of the new setup.
Following the completion of the new web template currently in progress we will be re-designing site functionality to better match the dual webtorrent/ipfs functionality we now offer and to make sure we have plenty of tutorials in place for those who want to submit items.
Thankfully we've already had a number of our submitters start testing the ipfs system and it's working really well so far. Load times for files are generally 5 seconds right now which is a HUGE boost compared to the average speed of webtorrents.
Before anyone panics, we still support web torrent content and will continue to do so but until the technology is adopted by more well established torrent clients (uTorrent being the biggest example), its speed is simply not where it needs to be to roll out the 1.0 version of our site. IPFS offers all the same benefits while also being in our opinion the better technology.
