Well it’s been over a year later and until today I hadn’t even heard of this addon. It’s not even officially supported for Firefox 3. The average reviews for the addon state that it is too simple and not transparent enough.

It’s a big shame as it is still difficult for users new to torrents to understand that they need an additional client to the web browser that can usually download files with..

BitFox seems more on the right path thus far. Requiring a proprietary Desktop application and only being for Windows almost nullifies the benefit of this one. Besides, we are trying to move away from commercially owned clients, not go to another. All the extensions seem to need developing, but if something like BitFox makes it into the Firefox codebase, it could help the commercial application of BitTorrent being used for downloads, given Opera already does it(poor client, but things like stats tend not to matter when downloading off a commercial site),

freakin hell. My newish macbook pro had this installed on it, it’s got 2 gigs of RAM.

I had Foxtorrent installed, but haven’t really used it. My laptop had been chugging away all day, and I’m thinking what the H? Why is it so damn slow…

I look into activity monitor, to find out ‘redswoosh’ is eating up 800K!

3 clicks to uninstall this piece of SH, and hopefully things are back to normal.
