Guys are there any bit torrent clients that download to your phone? As opposed to controlling your pc...?

There's quite a few, not sure on the most popular one though. tTorrent is one that springs to mind.

Have you used any of the clients? What sort of speed do you get over Wifi at home? Just wondering if you can actually get a decent speed; if you had to 20Mb internet for example, what sort of download speeds would you get? (Assuming infinite seeds and whatnot).

Does anyone know an app that will limit my download speeds?

I honestly would have no idea, I've only used the uTorrent remote to download torrents to my PC.

Robotek HD is rather fun and I think free, has entertained me for a while. Even once you get down how to win there's still a chance factor that can turn the tables.

Do you see root as a requirement in the specifications listing? http://www.appbrain.com/app/go-launcher-ex/com.gau.go.launcherex

If I had, I wouldn't have asked the question

What's the best launcher at the moment, just done a fresh wipe, I used to use LauncherPro.

Myshra · 15 Jun 2011 at 11:19

It's personal preference, try them all. At most it takes 5 minutes to try

GO Launcher!

LauncherPro is good but always gives me a black screen and lag at boot which is very annoying. Happens on every Android device I've tried it on (Nexus One, Nexus S, Desire HD).

GO it is

I did a quick search on the thread and couldn't find anything so here goes.

Plex is one of the best applications I have used ever. Not only can I now stream all of my video collection both within my network and over 3g but it also scans for information on your videos and downloads all the artwork, synopsis etc. Best £3.00 I ever spent.

Got a new SD card for my DHD today, and was wondering how best to put it in my new phone? Is it just a case of copying all the files on my old one to the new card? Will all my apps be fine if I do it like this?

Do exactly that, copy from A to B and put back in - job done. Phone will work out the rest.

I tried go launcher a while back and didnt think much of it compared to launcher pro.

Ive just retried it now and wow is all i can say, im very impressed by it on my desire it might actually pry me away from using Launcher pro.
