Finally the dream of downloading bittorrent through firefox extention became reality!
Foxtorrent 1.03 was released (http://www.foxtorrent.com/)

No more hustle of dealing with java (azureus), unstability (deluge), and compatibility (bittonado)
It's working very well so far, it certainly seems to work for me :)
Just a note, there is almost no options to configure so it might not satisfy some people, but it's well worth a try.

Hmm, looks like there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out. I'll wait for now, but I like the concept. I hope this gets the development it deserves.

Thanks for the heads up.
This definitely looks like it has potential. I'll try it for a few days to see if I like it as much as other programs.

don't really like the fact that it goes through a site instead of being a stand alone app..

opera includes this in its own download manager.

personally i use utorrent with wine, works like a charm.

how does it stream bittorrent? the file will be downloaded out of order and the first part of the video could be downloaded last.
