Updated Firefox torrent extension available
May 18, 2007

The FoxTorrent team has released an update to its Firefox extension that adds a BitTorrent-like client to the popular web browser. FoxTorrent v1.10 fixes a problem that has troubled users of "particular" Torrent sites, according to the team.

FoxTorrent enables speedy downloads of public-domain music, video, photos, software, and other files from within the Firefox browser, according to the project. The Firefox extension lets users play streamable media (MP3s, MPGs, Divx AVIs) moments after the download begins, according to the project.

FoxTorrent v1.10 "fixes the problems a lot of people are having with downloading from particular Torrent websites. Now it should work with every Torrent website," a team spokesperson said on the project wiki.

Users can download FoxTorrent in Firefox's Download Manager and manage their torrents from within Firefox, the spokesperson said.

FoxTorrent can be used with all Linux, Windows, and Mac OS systems. Information on how to download and use FoxTorrent is available on the project's website, here.
