Good tips for Opera Browser

1. BITTORRENT IN OPERA BROWSER

* To disable Opera's BitTorrent client:
- Type on your Opera URL bar --> opera:config#BitTorrent
- Press "Enter", and uncheck "Enable", click "Save", and BitTorrent is disabled.

* In order to use a third-party BitTorrent client, instead of Opera's BitTorrent client:
- Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads
- Uncheck "Hide file types opened with Opera"
- Type "torrent" in the Quick find box
- Double-click the line that looks like this: application/x-bittorrent torrent (you can select to either use your system's default BitTorrent client -Open with default application- or define a preferred client -Open with other application-)
- This will not disable Opera's BitTorrent client, but it will associate Torrent files with your preferred BitTorrent client.

2. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SPEED DIAL SPOTS

- Look for "speeddial.ini" file in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Opera\OPERA\profile
- Before editing it: Close Opera! (very important). And keep a copy of speeddial.ini before making any change.
