[HOW TO] Download Torrent files using firefox

Filed under Computer tricks, Featured, Internet tricks, Mozilla Firefox by on November 27, 2009 at 6:20 pm {2 comments}

Now you can directly download torrent files inside your firefox browser. No need to install a special software just to download torrent files.

Unlike other web browsers firefox supports wide range of plugins. Which makes your life easier.Whenever I try to download torrent files it first downloads the torrent for the file then using any other software(utorrent, bittorrent, flashget etc.) it will download the actual files.

Instead of this you can download torrent files with a single click. All you have to do is download and install this plugin named FireTorrent. This plugin can be really useful for the torrent users. Using this you can easily download the files from torrents inside your firefox.
