torrentfreak.com — Wouldn’t it be easier if people can download .torrent files with their web-browser? This is a question BitTorrent novices often the ask. Last year Opera was the first browser to add BitTorrent support, soon followed by BitFox, FireStorm, FoxTorrent, AllPeers, and Wyzo/FireTorrent. Here’s a overview of these applications and extensions.

@spudnicUm... It has nothing to do with the US. A bit (b) is a single binary integer. A byte (B) is a measurement of storage. Unfortunately, the two get used almost interchangeably by many people who think they are smart and teach other the same fallacy, ever spreading this evil ignorance upon us.

The majority of these were "alpha stage" who gives a flip?

There needs to be more torrent clients developed for the mac. Azureus is a resource hog, Transmission isn't feature-complete (I need selective downloading and encryption), BitRocket is unstable, and the rest haven't been updated in ages. I have a friend who is in the early stages of creating a cross-platflorm client that is private-tracker friendly and minimal-resource.I've tried uTorrent in Parallels, and I can easily say that it is the best choice out there.

be great if the parent seeder was the web site you're visiting, like getting files off download.com or something. as it is most seeds are upped by private individuals and are then scattered throughout the community putting down loaders at the mercy of circumstance.i use opera for surfing and frankly it's the best out there for me but in spite of this i use µtorrent for swarming. for one thing it's just better that way and for another sites like oink simply won't allow browser clients, for now. - js.

So Heres my problem, My ISP Cox, shuts my service down when ever they notice a spike in my bandwidth usage. Every time I try to down load a torrent file my connection goes and I have to reset my router and modem. What can I do to get around this?

This used to happen to me with my local cable provider when I'd use such programs as Download Accelerator. Haven't ever had a problem with this kind of thing recently, however.
