HttpTorrents: Download Torrents Directly
// November 18th, 2009

KickassTorrents is known for innovation. From being the only torrent search engine that corrects spelling mistakes to allowing users to fully customize the look of the site’s homepage, they’re always one step ahead of the competition.
In keeping to tradition, KickassTorrents has integrated with httpTorrents, which gives users the option to download the files directly without having to use a BitTorrent client. Music tracks can also be streamed directly from the site itself. The service works in a similar way to most other files hosting services such as Rapidshare, but only works with torrents.
This is useful to internet users who have restricted access to BitTorrent, such as those whose ISP or firewall blocks or slows down transfers.
Currently, everyone can use httpTorrents, but in the future the download speed and number of simultaneous downloads will be limited for free users.
It will definitely be interesting to see how this new way of downloading torrents develops.
