After Netflix and others streaming services, I stop using Transmission. What’s the current usage of BitTorrent?
(Edit: I know you can do this already with firewall rules, or containers, but I don't trust myself to not make a mistake. Ideally this should be part of the OS. You should be able to right-click somewhere in the window and say "use this network for this app".)
The other feature I'd like to see is sequential downloads, but the developers object out of principle so that is never going to come.
Good to see it being in active development. But the one feature I'm waiting for is a network whitelist. For example, it should never connect over my home or office network, but only via anonymous VPN.

Write it on their github maybe? Also I would be interested, how many people there use a VPN for torrents?
There are already GitHub issues like this. The maintainers simply close them.
You can create a fork and implement the feature or pay someone to implement it for you. That's the wonderful benefit of free software.
I'm really excited to see support for torrents v2. If only because transmission will stop chocking on hybrid torrent files, which should lead to more adoption across the board. I wish transmission supported mutable torrents (BEP46). It would allow completely re-thinking distribution: grab a torrent of your favorite distribution, and have it auto-update to the latest version. Or grab a "super-torrent" that lists isos…

For example, buying a 4K HDR movie on iTunes does not allow you to even cache it locally ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251320670 ), it is 100% streamed meaning you have to have a very sizeable and stable internet connection to watch it uninterrupted. Downloading it from a side channel means you can buy it on your favourite platform and actually keep it on your computer.

That would give the distribution platform the idea that what they are doing is OK. In this case, just download it and don't pay for it, if they are not actually providing you of any service. Vote with your wallet.

Streaming services are increasingly going over cable TV route and screwing customers over. The age of piracy is back.
Please, don't call copyright infringement 'piracy'. Piracy is a penal crime that involves violence, theft of property and is often accompanied by murders. Torrenting is just copying data.
Torrenting non-free products from unofficial sources is illegal.
