Android torrent client

ridgway90 · 13 Nov 2012 at 13:23

Hey all, I've been trying to find a decent torrent client for my galaxy s 2.
I've been using tTorrent but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a free and unlimited speed alternative
Many thanks

Utorrent? I haven't tried it though

Thanks, looks nice at least

most places only seem to offer front ends for desktop clients, but I just wanta decent client to download the odd book or song to my phone

I used utorrent.

ridgway90 · 13 Nov 2012 at 13:36

I'll definitely give utorrent a go, and report back so I can hopefully help others

Are you talking about over wifi, or using 3G? If the latter, pretty sure all networks block torrent traffic over 3G.

I'm on three with unlimited data and haven't encountered any problems with 3g, only a limit with the client

3 throttle p2p between 3PM and 12AM or something, but out of those times (well,I don't remember it throttling during those times, but that's their official policy) I can easily get 800kB/s though (I had to use my phone as my net connection for a month, downloaded 100GB through it, a third of which was probably torrents

).

I use BitTorrent on my phone, made by the people that make the uTorrent app, but it's been updated more recently. No speed cap, but sometimes it doesn't download properly and you have to reopen the torrent and it will finish it off, it also rapes the battery

.

Lol well I just downloaded a bit with utorrent and don't think I'll use it so much till it gets updated, great app but still in beta

Nope, not all. At least not giffgaff.

utorrent and bittorrent are the same minus utorrent not including a toolbar.

Yeah, I figured they were basically the same from the screen shots

.

I use uTorrent Remote most of the time now that I have internet back at home (although my phone connection is faster

)

I just use LogMeIn Ignition to access my seedbox at home, I've not actually torrented directly from my phone.
