peers behind 4G mobile router can't connect

[ihubgit]

Hi, i've been trying out webdrop.space in order to connect two peers over the Internet who are behind 4G mobile routers without success. Maybe it's a mobile operator issue blocking everything torrent, but do I need to open certain TCP and/or UDP ports on the router ? If so, the caveat might be there...

• You don't need to open any TCP/UDP ports particularly for using webdrop

There maybe many reasons for P2P connections to not be established:

• WebTorrent trackers are blocked or can't connect to them
• One peer is using IPv4 while other is IPv6 (with no IPv4 fallback): Issues connecting with Peers on Different Networks p2pt#21
• Router firewall issues (I don't know more about how to fix them)

More on this is discussed here: subins2000/p2pt#21

ok did another test, and this time it worked. Only thing is that transfer is painstakingly slow: continuously skips between 64, 128, 192 and 256 KB/s... Is this normal or could this be improved somehow ?

Depends on the internet connection you have. Its just another WebRTC app, there's nothing that prevents it from using the full bandwidth available
