Torrent plugin for Safari?!?!

[Mr. Bubbles]

I simply can't find a plugin that integrates directly into safari that lets me use torrents. This is really my only beef with what, for everything else, seems to be a near-perfect browser. Does anyone no of a plugin that can do this? (preferably free🙂)

Why do you need it integrated? Just use Transmission.

Integrated as in Safari handling the files and opening them automatically. Firefox does this and does it well.

Apple doesn't seem too interested in adding more "safe" extensions to be opened.

Ah, now I see. Well a simple google search led to this article:

Good find. That seems like a simple hack to do the trick.

Alas, it seems like it would work but isn't for me so far...

I think all this does is allow Safari to tell whatever your default torrent opening program is, to open the torrent file that you just download. It does not actually seem to allow safari to open said torrent file 🙁
