Opera's BitTorrent "client"


Recommended Posts

I posted a review here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=358254

But there was not replies where ppl dint point out any mistake (if there was any). So here members who might use the client and know a lot abt the same as well. Pl xsee that review and point out any mistakes and suggestion.

Also did you ppl get "BitTorrent tracker error"? Opera said it fixed that problem but still I get these error some times.

Your review is pretty well done.

But still I prefer to use a different client for my torrents. I'd like Opera to have other features enhanced (e.g.: a selective pop-up blocker, like in FF) before having a BT client bundled.

The reason opera is adding bittorrent support is to ease the strain on their servers when a new version is released.

Prople can share the torrent and not hit the opera servers so hard it makes them fail.

Technically they are not adding in a bittorrent client they are just adding the bittorrent protocol support to the existing download manager (with a few basic options like down/upload speed, port # etc)

While I agree that most (if not everybody) who uses torrents already will stick with their existing bt client, for casual users who occasionally download things via bt (and more and more places are utalising bt now e.g. game demo sites etc) it's a nice way of downloading torrents without having to install additional software to do it.
