Is there any app or project something like btysnc? I mean data sync using WebRTC? Any thought about speed? Can it be faster than btysnc? Thanks

I think there has been some progress made on implementing BitTorrent like clients using WebRTC data channels:

I haven't done that much investigation myself yet, but I definitely think it's possible. No idea on which will be faster, I imagine it will come down to quantity and quality of peers in both cases...
