More and more applications that are looking for (and finding) a place in the cloud, and BitTorrent clients are no exception. With different elements seeking any legal detail to blow up the classics BitTorrent clients, placing the ability to download torrents directly from your browser seems a more than reasonable. And that is what Torque: All interested developer can create applications enabled for use in this "online customer", delivering more features to users, and expanding existing ones.

Personally I must say I am very comfortable with the current BitTorrent clients. uTorrent is an essential software to me, and I think his role is simply fabulous WebUI. I have a small terminal with a hard drive large enough (and is already flying with the steam, I might add), and WebUI me to manage (almost) everything the conventional customer has. But if there are players, audio and image editors, word processors and many other tools in the cloud, the fact that a BitTorrent client is located in that place is not far-fetched. Many people feel intimidated by the BitTorrent patients, and their configuration details, but if they somehow integrate a method to download torrents like normal files, everything would be easier.

That's what BitTorrent Torque. Imagine an online platform (which functions similarly to a BitTorrent client) on which you can develop small JavaScript-based applications to expand the functionality of BitTorrent in the browser. If you visit the official website of torque, you'll see that there are some active projects, and others in development. Between what is available and OneClick, an extension compatible with Chrome (and only under Windows, for now) that lets you download torrents like common files, and Paddle Over a feature to share files by "drag and drop" using a dedicated site. Some things are yet to come streaming video settings to optimize the client, uTorrent and Friends, which adds to BitTorrent sharing a social twist through Facebook.



I tried checking the operation of OneClick under Chrome, and not only was negative (at least for now), but I also got a surprise. Our evidence was common, with many seeds and is perfectly legal as image "netinst" from the last version of Debian. Chrome plays. Torrent file correctly and try to do something, but I found that OneClick is reported himself as a "trial" and to continue to use it should pay one dollar, one curious detail when we consider that it did not work, which is Alpha offered a platform, and basically being asked to pay to download something available free of charge (a dollar is not much, but I will try to contact people from BitTorrent to confirm). Eliminate dependence on BitTorrent clients and place all of the functionality on the Web is an interesting project, but Torque is just in alpha state, and there are many sharp edges to eliminate. Patience.
