The Opera 8.02 Technology Preview integrating this popular file-downloading technology in the Opera browser offers the end user a faster download process by utilizing full bandwidth and reducing the chance of in-transfer delay when multiple users download the same file.

“While BitTorrent has been on Opera’s radar screen for more than a year, the true value of the technology became evident when the company launched Opera 8 in April this year.

On Thursday July 7, 2005, Google launched their beta version of Google Toolbar for Firefox !! Finally it is released as Google previously only offered a toolbar for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

The toolbar offers a Google search box (though this feature by default appears in FireFox :D ), search news articles, page rank, spell check, translator, and Google’s AutoLink that turns street addresses into links to a map. Personally I like the page rank and translator feature. With Gooegle Toolbar now we just have to point to the word then the translation of the word will appear, useful and come in handy.
