Wyzo: for simple bittorrent downloads
Wyzo is pretty new to the scene, and have a couple of products that might be of some interest. Well, one of them might be of interest. They offer a web browser which, in their website's own humble opinion, is flat out "awesome". Now that could be true, depending on your definition of awesome. It's a pretty simple browser that might appeal to people who aren't terribly tech-savvy, nothing too special. But they do have another tool that is kind of like training wheels for a bittorrent user. FireTorrent is probably the most straightforward torrent downloader you can find. The trick is that FireTorrent is really aimed at people who have no idea what bittorrent really is. It's so simple to use that it can be picked up and used by pretty much anyone. It's kind of like "Guitar Hero". Sure, purists are going to hate it, but anyone who can't play an actual guitar gets to live the feeling of being a guitarist. Without the groupies of course. Ok, so that's a weak analogy, but the point is there.
Basically, if you've got any friends who you've always told about the magic of bittorrent, but they've always been too scared to try it out, point them to this. It's as simple as it's going to get. You can set it up in no time and show them how to use it. Then if they still say they don't understand, punch them in the back of the head, because they're hopeless.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

It's the firefox browser with a bittorrent extension... nothing special and definitely not worth the download especially as the extension can run in firefox (i just did)
