The service is fairly straightforward, in that once you find something you like you can play it and continue browsing the web. You can search for songs, artists and albums yourself, or you can browse popular content. It’s aggregates YouTube content and plays it all within a proprietary interface. Moving on to the relatively new feature, also implemented is a media streaming service called Torch Music. You can also start, pause and remove torrents from directly within Torch.
It works like any other torrent client, complete with quick stats, download limits, and various settings to tweak the experience.
The Torch torrent client looks a lot like Vuze, but it also borrows elements from uTorrent and other similar clients. No, Torch includes a full-blown torrent client built-in. It’s not a trivial shortcut to another application or an advertisement for a third party torrent client. The most prominent feature of Torch is the integrated BitTorrent support. Of course, I’ll also disclose whether or not those features work well, or not. Because it’s just a beefed up web browser, I’m going to skip talking about the browser features and instead focus on what makes it unique. If you’ve ever used Chrome before, then you know exactly what Torch looks like, and you also know how it operates. Because of this, sometimes content is missing like songs, artists or even albums
Torrent client isn’t quite as advanced as third party software like uTorrent or Vuze.

(Unfortunately, RockMelt has been discontinued by the developers now, but that’s a different matter altogether.) Torch is another browser based on the Chromium project it is designed for media downloads and playback. Take RockMelt, for example, a social browser that uses Chromium technology. One of the best things about Chromium open source project is that it can be modified and used to create different browsers.
