From the website:
Background Downloading
Continues to work even after your browser window has been closed.
This is a BUG, not a feature. When I close my web browser, I certainly DON'T want any extensions kept running, especially when they accept incoming connections.
When you launch foxtorrent, it spawns a child process that listens on port 9421. I had no idea that firefox extensions could spawn processes.
