Released yesterday by Red Swoosh, the new Firefox add-on allows users to download bittorrent files from within the browser. Foxtorrent is cross platform with versions for Mac, Linux and Windows. - -Fox torrent has enormous potential, it can eliminate some of the headaches of torrent downloading since it auto-configs for NATS, firewalls, and uPNP. Foxtorrent is unobtrusive and all downloading happens in the background. Foxtorrent can even continue downloading torrents even after Firefox is closed. - -Unfortunately, in its current state, Foxtorrent feels like a beta rushed out the door. Testing on Windows revealed a serious memory leak that quickly swallowed my RAM and froze the browser. Strangely I didn't have the same issue on the Mac, but it was serious enough for me to uninstall the plugin. The memory leak issue is [noted on the Foxtorrent site][2]. - -The other main problem with Foxtorrent is that it doesn't recognize downloads from many torrent sites. - -In Foxtorrent, torrent files are downloaded using the Red Swoosh server, but the server can't handle SSL-secured torrent trackers, which severely limits the number of available torrents. For instance, Foxtorrent users can't download anything from Bittorrent.com. - -I also had problems with Foxtorrent recognizing certain files as torrents. Many torrent links I tested just downloaded as regular files and were never intercepted by Foxtorrent. - -Given the number of issue I experience in a couple hours of testing I can't recommend Foxtorrent just yet, however, Foxtorrent has great potential. - -Foxtorrent is open source (MIT license) and as such I expect that improvements will be forthcoming, however, for the time being, I recommend holding off on Foxtorrent. - -[1]: http://www.foxtorrent.com/ "Foxtorrent" -[2]: http://code.google.com/p/foxtorrent/issues/detail?id=3&can=2&q= "Memory Leak" \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
