Opera 9 Beta

Opera has released it’s latest version of it’s Web Browser
The Opera 9.0b.The release adds a number of major new features, including widgets and support for BitTorrent downloads.

BitTorrent support, meanwhile, will help Opera target those savvy P2P users who don’t want to bother with an external application for their downloads. Users are able to search for files on the BitTorrent network through integrated search functionality, which then would use Opera’s Transfer Manager software to handle the download.

The move could anger intellectual property holders, however, who see BitTorrent as a boon to piracy. The technology is currently used almost exclusively for the illegal distribution of copyrighted material by end users, even thought it is simply a communication protocol that facilitates efficient distribution of very large files.
