The pair have signed an agreement allowing Opera to use the BitTorrent
trademark and access the BitTorrent search engine from the browser's user
interface.
Opera claimed that integrating the technology will mean faster and more
efficient downloads of large files. A technical preview of the Opera 9 browser
will be made available
soon.
BitTorrent's technology will be offered to Opera users in two ways. Users can
search for torrent files in the browser's integrated search field, or, when a
file has been selected, Opera's Transfer Manager feature will handle the
download.
Users no longer need separate software for the searching and downloading of
torrent content.
BitTorrent is an open source, peer-to-peer protocol for distributing files.
It makes use of the upstream bandwidth of every downloader to increase the speed
and effectiveness of the distribution as a whole.
On average, the faster a user uploads to a peer, the faster they will be able
to download.
But some see Opera's move as controversial, given that many software pirates
now favour torrent files to distribute and download their wares.
