Actually, Opera’s the Swiss Army Knife of the internet and particularly handy if you’re a developer, but hey – it’s a question of taste.

Crap multi-functional items have features for features’ sake alone – and they deserve to be buried in the desert.

I agree. The software design policy of “do one thing and do it well” always rings true to me.

Why should people use this, when dedicated BT clients, such as Azureus, always end up doing a better job? It’s pretty obvious to everyone within P2P that multi-network P2P clients work like crap. Multi-purpose applications must be even worse… Mediocre implementation of BT…
And, Opera is proprietary. They lock up all their code so noone can change or improve upon it.
I say stick with what works, people. Azureus, KTorrent, Yet ABC and all the other dedicated BT clients.
