This is great news and will help lead to wider adoption. I hope that some progress will be made for handling large files since currently it is stored in-memory: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/86
I've been using Webtorrent Desktop for a while now, and really enjoy using it, but there are some glaring issues around random freezes on fast connections, plenty of open issues on it with other users reporting the same experience: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-desktop/issues
I've personally been working around this using a custom fork that messes around with the simultaneous connections settings, and it seems to help quite a bit, but I still get freezing from time to time when I download a large number of torrents simultaneously.
I wonder if an alternative implementation in something like Rust on top of WASM might make those kinds of issues easier to avoid by making more efficient use of resources.
