+## I don't like the name "PeerTube"

+PeerTube is just the name of the software. You can install it on your
+server, and choose the name you want. For example, [this instance](https://framatube.org/)
+is named "Framatube".

 ## If nobody watches a video, is it seeded?
 
 Yes, the origin server always seeds videos uploaded on it thanks to

 You can't. You'll need to re install an instance and reupload your videos.

+## Can I seed videos with my classic BitTorrent client (Transmission, rTorrent...)?
+
+Yes you can, but you won't be able to send data to users that watch the video in their web browser.
+The reason is they connects to peers through WebRTC whereas your BitTorrent client uses classic TCP/UDP.
+We hope to see compatibility with WebRTC in popular BitTorrent client in the future. See this issue for more information: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/369

 ## Are you going to use the Steem blockchain?
 
 Short answer: no, since like most appchains/votechains, it modifies the dynamic of creation, and as such cannot be integrated into mainline PeerTube. Read more about that in [the dedicated section](#what-is-creation-dynamic-and-why-not-modify-it).
