Opera 9 with BitTorrent support

**infoseeker** · June 20th, 2006, 11:12 PM

this is my all time favorite BROWSER
Opera 9
http://www.opera.com/

The premise of Opera has always been the same--develop the fastest, smallest, and most full-featured browser available--and the latest version maintains the tradition.....

"addition of BitTorrent support, letting you drop a Torrent link into the address bar and begin a file transfer immediately without the need for an extra app"

"addition of BitTorrent support, letting you drop a Torrent link into the address bar and begin a file transfer immediately without the need for an extra app"

How does it work? Is it easy to use and configure? I haven't used Opera since v. 7something. Switched to Phoenix and haven't looked back, but I'm open-minded.

im still on "testing"
this is i noticed
When i download a torrent
"BitTorrent Download" (will pop-up)
You are about to start a BitTorrent download from:

torrent link removed :) (besides, do you want people seeing what you're downloading?) -potato

Please note that you will share the content you receive with other people who download the same files.

Are you sure you want to do this?

(asking where to save)

and as of now is doing fine
actually im using Azureus as of now but if this OPERA 9 will do fine then i will stick on this

What bt client is implemented into the browser? Its not a big deal for me, I download the torrent and firefox runs it by default and ABC client popsup, and i choose which directory to save to. I could go a step further and set up default directory so it wont ever ask me. But i keep music/programs/movies in seperate locations.

It's very good, but Firefox's Adblock does a better job in blocking ads!

You should check out Maxthon, i have been using it for months now and it blows FF away. The tab function is a lot better then FF or IE 7.

Check it out, it's worth a look.

Oink band the bt client part of it. So i guess its easier to do ratio cheat? I download a torrent with firefox, and my ABC client pops up and ask me where to save the file. Its just as easy then having a client that migrated bit torrent in it.

Exact same scenario here ,except my last Opera was 6.0.After I became disenchanted with FF1.5 I checked out Opera 9 beta and I have not looked back nor do I anticipate doing so. I don't use the bittorent part though.I checked it out but I prefer a seperate client.
I'll definitely check out the next real FF upgrade,It's just unlikely to become my main browser again the way it was for the last couple years.
Anyway if you haven't checked out Opera 9(it's out of beta now) you should.I loved Firefox but dumped it like 3 day old warm beer after using Opera9.

Using a hosts file I hardly see any ads. There is one real irritating ad from Tiger Direct that I can't seem to beat but that's the only one I can remember seeing in the last month or so.
EDIT-Oh irony of ironies.The edit function doesn't work on ZP with Opera9.It works with IE7 and K-Meleon though.It works fine on every other board I go to(and I make a lot of typos) so I'm putting this one down as a minor ZP glitch.
