    so is this bittorrent for firefox, or something else?
    i.e. is it some proprietary thing, or is it an interface to bittorrent?
    (are they using standards or trying to make some comericial proprietary thing).
    anyone know what allpeers is all about?

    I had some for breakfast...

    But the thing is that there was something that prompted the label Yahweh, and then other attributes got attached to that label.

  3. like you need another craptastic extention by hyperbotfly · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    DEAD LINK. Anyway, the only point of doing this is if you are too lazy to open up your fucking aMule client. And really, if you are too lazy to do that, then you are too lazy to install a fucking extention. So what's the fucking point?? Oh, and it is SOOO worth risking the stability of my browser for a gismo of a vastly substandard filesharing net.
