		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.foxtorrent.com/">FoxTorrent</a> is a BitTorrent extension for Firefox that makes it possible to download and stream torrents within Firefox. Last month we already <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/foxtorrent-another-bittorrent-firefox-extension/">reported</a> the leak of an internal beta version, but today FoxTorrent 1.0 was officially released.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com//images/foxtorrent-new-logo.jpg" align="right" alt="foxtorrent" />The extension is developed by the Silicon Valley based company RedSwoosh, which was recently aquired by <a href="http://www.p2p-blog.com/item-276.html">Akamai</a>. FoxTorrent integrates BitTorrent downloads with so called &#8220;<a href="http://www.akamai.com/html/redswoosh/overview.html">Swoosh links</a>&#8220;, and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.p2p-blog.com/item-286.html">p2p-blog</a> did an early review and reports that the extension still has some issues. It causes major memory leaks and it doesn&#8217;t work with SSL-secured servers like those from <a href="http://torrentfreak.com">BitTorrent.com</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve quickly tested the audio and video streaming capabilities of the extension, and found that it worked surprisingly well. However, the problem with streaming is that the chunks can&#8217;t be downloaded at random, which slows down the speed of the download. Moreover, streaming only works if the download speeds are high enough, which is often a problem.</p>
<p>One thing&#8217;s for sure, Bram Cohen is not going to <a href="http://www.redswoosh.net/blog/?p=69">shit his pants</a> (yet).</p>
