While I absolutely love BitTorrent and make heavy use of it, I still am not sure if embedding it in a browser is a good thing. I have no doubts about the usefulness, but wouldn't a low priority daemon, or even a client on a minimal external system such as the smallest *Pi-like board, be more functional? It would also speed up peer discovery.
As an example, I have my client as a service on my XigmaNAS NAS, so that it stays on even after all PCs in the house are turned off at night, and frankly I can't imagine going back to a traditional client or a browser, therefore a PC to stay turned on to work.
...Unless I completely misunderstood the purpose of this software.
