Opera 9.50 Adds Bittorrent Peer Exchange

[dserban 0]

Opera, the popular multi-platform browser has supported BitTorrent for some time now. After more than a year of development, the release of v9.50 Alpha sees the introduction of a uTorrent compatible Peer Exchange feature which will hopefully help to speed up transfers and reduce tracker load.

I like opera a lot. But as a torrent system I've found it lacking compared to dedicated applications such as Auzuras or uTorrent.

Yeah, I can't imagine why I'd want to integrate BT into opera...unless the pocket pc version of opera has it...

Same opionion here, compared to µtorrent, it's nothing. It's not lightweigth, starting big downloads takes too long and speeds are below par and there's not DHT support to speed things up.
