P2P Meets Browser
The latest P2P buzz is its integration with your friendly browser. A number of efforts are underway for Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers that integrate Bit Torrent downloads. Here are two projects.
MozTorrent: "The MozTorrent plugin will be a small and simple add-on for Mozilla Firefox (and later the Mozilla Suite as well) to seamlessly handle BitTorrent downloads. The ultimate goal is to make it as easy to download torrents as downloading from the web in Mozilla. MozTorrent will be configured through the preferences window and downloads will be shown and controlled through the Download manager."
AllPeers: AllPeers is a free extension which combines the strength of Firefox and the efficiency of BitTorrent to transform your favorite browser into a media sharing powerhouse. Regain control! You decide which media files you want to share with whom and to maximise your privacy, communications are encrypted. Forget about complicated setup or obscure user interfaces. If you know how to use Firefox you know how to use AllPeers."
A new service called FilesWire has just launched. They enable p2p file sharing direct from the web. No application download is required. You ca view the site at: http://www.fileswire.com
