Looks like WM Torrent

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

it says it was wmfusion aka WinMobile Fusion. WM Torrent is terrible imho. i havent tried the program he is using though, i did check out their website though ^_^

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

Fusion is just WM Torrent, with RSS combined. it seems to run decent enough for a mobile torrent downloader.

Speeds are reaching about 100 megabytes an hour. Not lightning, but not bad.

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

testing wm torrent right now.... getting about 30 KB/s (aka 100 MB/hour like the poster above said) -- thats slow though. on a regular download most people get 80-150 KB/s.

conclusion? use ftp/http or newsgroups to download, only use torrent if you have no other option =D

edit: must have been connected to slow seeds, second half of the download was ~70 KB/s, or ~250 MB/hour, so torrent downloading is semi-decent if you get connected to good seeds

Been using WMTorrent for a while. love it.

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

Why the hell would you want to torrent on your WM phone? Limited storage, bandwidth, battery power.... 3 good reasons not to do it. Doesn't seem useful in the slightest to me.

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

movies, games, apps, pictures, etc. sure, id rather get them from a website, ftp, or newsgroup, but that might not always be possible.

with 16-32 gigs of storage thats plenty to get some decent sized files. just have to be careful about goin over sprints supposed 5gig soft cap

I just can't think of any file I need badly enough to torrent it on my phone. Of course, I do have Azureus running on my system with remote HTTP access to it anyhow, so all I have to do is log in to that and add the torrent to download it using my home connection.

I agree a linux distribution is not gonna be a good idea.

A half hour 130Mb episode downloaded in just over an hour isnt so bad, when your on a roadtrip for a week without a laptop.

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

I use newsgroups. I have seen sustained speeds of 125KB with my Mogul. I've not tried with the Touch Pro yet.

Re: HTC Touch PRO Legit Torrent Downloading
 

Battery power is a minimal concern. I've got access to 50 USB chargers to use. About 15 in my house. A few at work. One or two at all my family members homes and a bunch of car ones. I know it sounds excessive, but everyone at my work uses USB. 3 Touch Pros, a RAZR and a couple of Moto Qs. At home my girlfriend has a Mogul and so do almost all my friends. Bandwidth isn't a reason. This phone is DSL speed. I sustained over 125KB with my Mogul in a lower coverage area on Rev0, this phone is RevA. and seems to get better signal. Not to mention all the wifi options available. Space is moot too. My friend just ordered a Netbook with 16GB SSD. My phone has 4GB and I saw a Netbook on Woot with only 8GB. Space isn't really an issue at all in my opinion. Of course I don't use torrents. I would just login to my PC/laptop and download the files then stream them.

I download music with wmTorrent all the time.... often reaching speeds of 75Kb/s...

I leave my Touch plugged in most of the day and have a USB/SD enabled stereo beside my toolbox so it comes in handy when my whopping 2gigs of music is gets stale....

I'm loryLandskipper lol. I decided to say F it to torrenting on my phone. I don't know, I just feel like Sprint would a*s F me if I started downloading movies and mp3s or something.
