# Need help debugging decentralized Quran audio streaming with WebTorrent

I'm working on a new decentralized audio streaming app using WebTorrent to deliver Quran audio without relying on centralized servers. For this, I’ve built two open-source projects:

## **Open Quran**

%[https://github.com/adelpro/open-quran] 

An open-source Quran app built with **Next.js** and hosted on **Vercel**. It’s designed to provide an optimal Quran audio streaming experience across platforms. Audio content is distributed via **WebTorrent in the browser**, meaning it relies on **WebRTC peers** or **web seeds**—traditional TCP/UDP torrent seeds are not supported.

## **Open Quran Tracker & Seeder**

%[https://github.com/adelpro/open-quran-tracker] 

This repo includes **two Dockerized services**:

1. **Tracker**: A self-hosted WebTorrent tracker acting as a private WebRTC bridge to connect browser peers.
    
2. **Seeder**: A torrent seeder that continuously seeds all Quran audio files to speed up availability and streaming.
    

## **The issue**

While streaming works perfectly with public torrents like the Ubuntu ISO (plenty of seeds), Quran audio streaming fails or stalls. I suspect it's due to **insufficient WebRTC-compatible peers or missing web seeds**. Since WebTorrent in the browser can't connect to traditional torrent clients, the network needs more compatible peers (like other browsers or my custom seeder).

## **How you can help**

* Test the [Open Quran app](https://github.com/adelpro/open-quran)
    
* Check if the torrents load for you
    
* Suggest improvements for peer seeding or WebRTC connectivity
    
* Help debug the seeder or tracker setup
    

Any help from those familiar with WebTorrent, browser P2P, or decentralized distribution is appreciated. Let’s push forward a censorship-resistant and scalable way to share Islamic content.

Thanks in advance!
