Worst use of "simply put" I've seen in a while. This page actually puts it simply: http://torque.bittorrent.com/labs/

That's just one possible use of the extension. This apparently creates an API that javascript can use to manage bittorrent downloads.

I wonder why on that labs page they have stolen Apple's 'settings' icon. It's exactly the same as the one used on the iPhone and iPad. Kind of sleazy of bittotrrent, although I suppose it's culturally consistent with their protocol.
