If it's peer to peer, shouldn't more viewers be better?

It depends on the configuration of the server. Some disable Webtorrent (probably because it doesn't support HLS). When they do that then I think it pulls from the federation, which then depends on how many have mirrored it.

I didn't know it pulled from the federation at all! That's interesting.
