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..

fox torrent is really crap, their p2p hosting is even worse service i’v used in such a long time. im talking about uploading files to the redswoosh network. i tried a 700mb file on a 512 ADSL took a day to upload at the end. it tells me the file has been uploaded but got this link null. how stupid can this be. after all that wated upload i got nothing in return just a stupid error message. plus no resume support. what complete idiot wouldnt add this into a hosting service. im so pissd i wasted such a long time ! i hate redswoosh bad service !

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.

[...] In a recent story on Torrentfreak, an employee at Red Swoosh made some rather bold statements regarding a leaked torrent client, FoxTorrent, which Red Swoosh is still developing: “Bram is going to s**t his pants when he takes our client for a spin.” Strong words — so strong, in fact, that RedSwoosh issued an apology, blaming an overly enthusiastic part-time developer: [O]ur apologies to Bram. Bittorrent is something to be proud of and Swoosh is contributing to the community. [...]

[quote comment="57976"]I’m not the one who enjoys to whine, but is it really important to report about things like this? I just don’t find a closed source alpha release of a browser- AND OS-specific application that interesting. Apart from the guy’s attitude there’s nothing worth noting about this whole thing.[/quote]
