-- FireTorrent makes a great little addition to Firefox. Its easier to use than any other torrent handling software; its great for BitTorrent beginners, in fact I taught my girlfriend how to download torrent files using FireTorrent. It is especially good for downloading small that are not tweak heavy, such as mp3's and pdf's. Tweak your upload and download options from the download manager, while watching your torrent %'s fly by quickly. Overall I love my one click no hassle FireTorrent Extension.

• Excellent Pop-Up Blocking

~ Torrent Sites tend to have pop-ups, but Firefox's built in pop-up blocker cuts em down. If an rogue advertisement or pop-up gets by your blocker, download AdBlock Plus & block future attempts of adverts and pop-ups.


• Smart Options for opening .torrent files

~ When you click on a .torrent file from your favorite site, Firefox gives you the option of saving the file directly to the hardrive, or open them directly with your torrent program of choice.


• Torrent Search options from within Firefox

~ Amongst many other addons & extensions, Firefox has Plugins to search for torrents. Instead of visting your favorite site, just type it in the search plugin box and off you go. A good list of these plugins can be found here: "Firefox torrent search plugins".


• Fully Customizable

Firefox allows you to customize and tailor websites to your liking. For instance, say you want to remove all the Non-Seeding torrents from ThePirateBay.org....Well download "The Pirate Bay - Hide Seedless"Addon.
