BitTorrent has reached agreements with several companies to embed its file-sharing software in their internet devices, expanding its ability to reach users.

Some of the first contract electronics hardware makers to start embedding BitTorrent software into their devices include Asustek, one of the world's biggest contract manufacturers, as well as Planex Communication and QNAP Systems.

So by incorperating bittorrent software directly into the router, it does what?

My thoughts...
- Faster downloads
- Faster linking to peers and seeders
- Essentially a better setup for bittorrent to run more effeciantly with a router
