Torque Brings BitTorrent To The Browser
BitTorrent is trying to integrate the power of BitTorrent
with the browser, with the release of BitTorrent Torque.
BitTorrent Torque is a JavaScript interface to a custom
torrent client that exposes all the power of BitTorrent to
web developers. Simply put, it allows anyone to utilize
BitTorrent's technology to create new experiences for users
with just a couple lines of code.
"This alpha allows BitTorrent to move beyond desktop clients," BitTorrent said in a blog post. "We believe web developers are pioneers when it comes to creating beautiful, intuitive user experiences. Torque will empower them to create powerful applications that will appeal to broad audiences."
BitTorrent also launches Torque Labs, a web site that showcases various web apps and demos related to Torque. These demos include 'Paddle Over', which allows users to transfer files between computers by simple drag and drop and offers social sharing tools. Another demo called 'OneClick' turns your torrent downloads into normal in-browser downloads.
