FireTorrent - BitTorrent Made Easy
Download torrent files directly using Firefox! Simply install the extension and you’re good to go!
Having a broadband connection really sucks when you want to download torrent files because for some reason my Internet provider doesn’t support port forwarding which can really lead to slow torrent downloads.

If you’re using Firefox and a heavy torrent user at the same time please do try FireTorrent. I highly recommend it! Please do comment because I would love to hear your experience on using FireTorrent.
