Team up to speed delivery of content throughout the home and to make it simpler for router users to configure for BitTorrent optimization.

Yesterday it was announced that Netgear and D-Link would become official BitTorrent Device Partners and embed the protocol in certified network attached storage(NAS) devices and and routers.

“We recognize the benefits BitTorrent technology brings to its large user base and are pleased to be able to add that functionality to our products,” said A.J. Wang, chief technical officer, D-Link. “By integrating the latest BitTorrent SDK into our NAS devices and ensuring our routers are BitTorrent Certified, we provide our customers with the most highly optimized BitTorrent implementation for connected devices and an efficient way to control and access their NAS device via an intuitive Web interface.”

Established in 2007, the goal of the BitTorrent Device Partners program is to work with a wide-array of hardware, middleware and application providers along the entire consumer electronics chain to create next-generation consumer experiences that use the BitTorrent protocol.

BitTorrent certification for routers helps consumers by minimizing the need for them actively manage their router settings in order for it to maximize its file-sharing capabilities.

“With the BitTorrent protocol accounting for half of all global Internet traffic, it is key that NETGEAR ensure its products are optimized for BitTorrent’s robust content delivery,” said Vivek Pathela, vice president of product marketing at NETGEAR.

    It also might mean better support for the large numbers of connections torrent can make like more memory and processor power in the router to manage them.
