this new Opera with built-in BitTorrent support

press release
download link

Is anyone using it? If so, is it stable? Is it worth giving up bitcomet for?

O Leshy, wherefore art thou?

Re: this new Opera with built-in BitTorrent support

I've just read the beta threads on the opera boards* and it does seem that it's very basic and no substitute for a full-featured client so I'll be sticking with what I have for now.

*yes I should have done that first

Pretty much all programs come with functions I will not ever use. As long as they do not add unnecessary size to the program, slow the program down, get in my way or otherwise hamper the functionality of the program, that program can have as many functions as it wants.

I've not tried out this preview of Opera yet, so thanks for the heads up. With torrents becoming a more and more popular way of distributing files, especially legally, it seems a pretty logical step to integrate a torrent client into the browser itself. Especially for less demanding users who may not know how torrent files work, or are not web-savvy enough to find their way to a decent BT client, this may be a useful addition.

And Newsbot3, Opera has always profiled itself as an Internet Suite or at least been doing so for a long time, so complaints that they are adding things that aren't a browser are pretty much unfounded.

Im one of the "not web-savvy" ones! I thought it was illegal to keep a file unless you have a paid-for original, like copied CD/DVDs?

Re: this new Opera with built-in BitTorrent support

It's illegal to keep a file you're not allowed to keep.

Amazingly enough, it is however not illegal to keep files you're allowed to download.

Re: this new Opera with built-in BitTorrent support

Opera and BitComet will be just fine for me. It's pretty cool that you can now dowload torrent files just like a regular download now (I assume) though. This is different to a pointless chat client:

"Why do I need my browser to download files? GetRight can do this already!"

Sometimes it's just easier to click a link and click download.
