After Netflix and others streaming services, I stop using Transmission. What’s the current usage of BitTorrent?
To not have to worry which streaming service currently streams the season of the show you want to watch.

See, I do have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ etc. but they each have their own app and even their combined coverage is not complete.
Do you know who has the (almost)complete movie&series coverage? Fmovies. That's where I watch most of my stuff lately, because of convenience. The legal content providers screwed it up again, once more they are not the most convenient way to watch movies and series.
Every now and then Fmovies would not have something, or I would like to watch something immediately after it's premiere and it would take more hours to be added to Fmovies. Sometimes I really like something I would like to keep it and make sure not lose it for re-watch or some movie has such a nice visuals that I need it in the best quality possible.
That's where Transmission comes handy.

'dns quota'? Are you trying to use an abacus as your DNS server? Torrents typically don't do more than a few thousand DNS lookups - which isn't much more than a few people browsing the web. And most of those lookups are just for showing pretty flags and country codes in the UI, and aren't needed anyway.
I dont know but transmission 3.0 era uses 200K+ DNS lookup with about 30 active torrent in a space of two to three weeks. I dont think I ever got to the bottom of it.

Could you explain what it is why it would be nice to have ?
Webtorrent is a modification to the bittorrent protocol to allow it to be used from a web browser with no plugins/extensions. It's built on top of WebRTC. Webtorrent and regular torrents can exist of the same file, but crucially, at least some small percentage of the people in the network have to support both webtorrent and regular torrent to act as a kind of bridge between the two. If this isn't the case, you might…

So where would transmission support come into play ? In being able to recognize files that include both web and regular torrent ? Or in being to transparently talk to web clients from transmission ? Both ?
The actual .torrent file is the same for both, so it already has support there.
> Or in being to transparently talk to web clients from transmission
This. Currently if all peers who have the data of a torrent are webtorrent clients, then transmission won't be able to download that file.
Most importantly, the webtorrent ecosystem is still small, and browser-based webtorrent-only clients suffer because frequently they can't get the file data they need because all the other peers only talk the original-torrent protocol.

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.
After Netflix and others streaming services, I stop using Transmission. What’s the current usage of BitTorrent?
Well after Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+ and dozens of other regional streaming services, I started using Transmission again.

Why wear a blue shirt, when there's yellow shirts available?
So no functional differences?
In terms of actual features, Transmission is more lightweight. It doesn't support super-seeding, broadcatching, native SOCKS support and doesn't have built-in search engine integration.

This would be cool but part of me think that most web users will just leach to watch movies in their browsers.
Let's say I have a movie I want to let other people stream with their browser. I am obligated to use some javascript horror webtorrent-compatible client. If I already have a seedbox running transmission I simply cannot use that for this purpose, which is a shame
