(apologies if you know any or all of these already, might be useful for some)
As said, hit F4 (or click the border of the screen) to toggle the panel.
ctrl+space.
Yes, that sucks hard 
prefs ā advanced ā downloads ā select bittorrent ā set to āopen with default applicationā is not really a load of steps? Adding an extra āsingle-clickā option for it would be clutter imho.
If it covered the page instead of resizing it, the way that pulldown menus do, Iād be game. I donāt like anything resizing the page. If I want to resize it, Iāll turn it into a window and resize it to my likingāgenerally I surf with it filling the screen. The windows taskbar I set to disappear with no animations. To me, panels are like if the windows taskbar resized the desktop every time it appears and disappears. Itās just not my thing.

As far as the bittorrent thingāIād like it to handle torrent files like any other fileāwhen I click on the download link, Iād like to see the same requrester as I see for most other files: a requester that asks if Iād like to save the file (as a torrent file, not the files the torrent points to) or open it in the default application.
I seeā¦ they should update opera so they can read the newsfeed pagesā¦
