How to download Torrent files with Firefox

**Zaif** · 25-08-2009

I'm addicted to firefox, and i do download everything with firefox. I'm using various fireofx add-on for different uses. But the only thing firefox missing is downloading torrent files. It seems firefox doesn't have any support to download the torrent files with it. I can't find any add-on for this. So i juat wonder if there is any way to add torrent files support in firefox? I'm using firefox 3.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You use firefox for downloads?

i'm also firefox lover , but for downloading it sucks. It never gives the accelerated downlaod speed. You should use the dedicated download applications like IDM , uTorrent, BitTorrent and FalshGet etc. I use IDM , it gives really good download speed. You can test any onne of them and see the difference between firefox buit-in internal downloader and this torrent downloading applications.
