there is no way to download a torrent file on any phone.....for now

 

A friend turned me onto this, I haven't tried it, but he uses it with his Droid and it seems to work fine:

Bit Torrent client for Android

EDIT: Not sure if that was the correct link, like I said, haven't tried it. But here is the program he told me about, I did a Google search for sources:

BitTorrent for Android results

 

well. i haven't seen this app before.

If there is now a way to do it, I'm very concerned for two reasons:

1. Verizon is already talking about using tiered data plans because people are using too much on their data plans, this will really put a spark in their asses.

2. i'm sure people won't be seeding as much.

 

Either way you need client software to download the "Actual torrent".

I am also concerned about this, aside from the bandwidth problem (which is a substantial one) I think you are opening your phone up to all kinds of bugs, etc.

 

I see what you mean now, just the torrent link file that links to the trackers.

My mistake

 

Nevermind

 

If your looking for an app to do remote access with your computers BitTorrent client I would recommend Transdroid.

 

I had not tried until now, but I can download the torrent files fine. I just D/L 2 of them and they are in my phones download folder. Of course when I click on them, I get the "no applications" error, but they are there.

 

I have a BT client on my Incredible that works. I've downloaded legal content more than once using it. It's called AndTorrent. There is also AndroidTorrent, but I like Andtorrent better. There are a few remote clients for uTorrent and others for your pc or linux machines as well that allow you to search for torrents from your phone and start them on your computer.

Good luck.

 

Transdroid is an awesome app. Works with an array of clients and easy to setup.

 

Was it IPtorrent? They're pretty strict.

 

Not really, I just recognized your recent problem, you're welcome
