Form here:

The WebTorrent protocol works just like BitTorrent protocol, except it uses WebRTC instead of TCP/uTP as the transport protocol.

Uhmm, I'm not tuo familiar with WebRTC yet, ma AFAIK it's an application protocol, not a transfer protocol. It still needs a transfer protocol below, be it either TCP, UDP, uTP or something else.

While you're probably technically correct, we're using WebRTC like a transport protocol. As far as the browser environment is concerned, that's what WebRTC is. The application protocol happens on top of WebRTC.
