Bob has posted about bittorrent integration in: Opera Integrates BitTorrent.

I do concur that it makes sense to have this kind of thing hidden from the user.

I am a little scared that torrent will be the only way to get to something. I often run into situations where the torrents are all screwed up and I shout "I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD THIS DAMN THING".

So hopefully you could do something like:

<a href="torrent://www.almaer.com/torrents/coolradioshow1.torrent,http://www.almaer.com/media/coolradioshow1.mp3">

or a level of abstraction:

<a href="abstraction://www.almaer.com/virtual/coolradioshow1.abstract">

We need this to be a standard, and not just in Opera ;)
