Sounds like another gap of functionality on Chrome OS is about to be filled.

Edit- Doesn't seem like it works on ARM Chromebooks yet, probably uses Native Client and not PNaCl.

NPAPI, the extension should soon be released for Firefox and Safari.

The torrenting part is done via Btapp.js/Torque.

Ah, NPAPI. It'd be nice if it switched to PPAPI soon so my Chromebook could run it.

It wouldn't work if it was using PNaCl, the client support is not there yet.

Does ChromeOS support PNaCl now? I think they said it was coming by the end of 2012.

I believe it's enabled on ARM Chromebooks, ahead of the others because it's the one that really needs it. I know that the Secure Shell app uses it, and Netflix will soon as well. Maybe it isn't enabled but certain apps are whitelisted.
