Peer-to-Peer Support Just Like Opera

Hello again. Not sure if this is a wild idea, but including torrent support can be an added feature, with both a Downloads and a Downloading folder. Aside from the speed benefit of downloading from P2P, what would encourage continued use than keeping the browser on all the time? More power!

As an extension, sure. But I really don't want to be responsible for dealing with a completely different, complex protocol in the browser core. In addition, it would require changes to the network layer to accommodate the generally very large number of connections that need to be open in a torrent client. You'd really be much better off using a dedicated client like Tixati for that.
