Thanks so much GeekShadow- I think that downloading music torrents in Songbird could really make things easier. I have a few suggestions that would improve its integration in Songbird. Since it is a port, I don't know how difficult it would be to add additional features, but would it be possible to allow the user to select specific files from the torrent to download? It can be important when you download discographies or collections of stuff. Also, could it be set up to use the Downloads area in the navigation pane, as well as/rather than the downloads window? I think that having things that you have to check on every once in a while like torrents would function better consolidated in this tab in the program rather than the separate download window. Someone should port the Firefox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26 over to Songbird to make it easier to keep track of your torrents/large downloads inside of the program while playing music.

One function that's soooo essential but missing here, is to have a downloads folder and a (move to) finished downloads folder. With Songbird set up to automatically organize my music and the downloads folder within the main music folder, Songbird constantly bombards me with errors as it's trying to categorize the files during download.

Otherwise, this is an absolutely killer add-on!

Many thanks

ok, sort of works great, but recently has this weird bug where any torrent i'm downloading rapidly slows from whatever speed it was going at to nothing. I tested the same torrents using Transmission (I use Ubuntu 9.10) to see if it was the torrents, but they all come in fine... any ideas? i really want this to work as it would allow me to divorce myself from iTunes... Also, i agree with JuniorRobot...
