I gave the beta a shot. It's a chromium fork with added support for browsing to magnet links. Basically, it's making BT a Web protocol. Not a bad idea.

Performance is inconsistent so far. Sometimes the downloads stall or fail for no apparent reason. Sometimes I can't find any seeders. Sometimes it works great. (Same old bit-torrent!)

I have some optimism for it, but it's not ready yet.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely be focusing on stability and getting updates out as often as possible in the next few weeks. Definitely send in any other feedback you have if you continue to give it a shot.
