To use bittorrent, your machine has to listen, and otherwise be somehow reachable. In many cases, it's not a given, and sometimes not even desirable. It sticks out.

I think a variant of bittorrent which may be successful in corporate and generally non-geek environments should have the following qualities:

  - Work via WebSockets.
  - Run in browser, no installation. 
  - Have no rebel reputation. 
It's so obvious that it must have been implemented, likely multiple times. It would not be well-known because the very purpose of such an implementation would be to not draw attention.

WebTorrent is ubiquitous by now and also supported by Brave and many torrent clients. There is still much room to build, though. Get in, the water is warm!
