Looks like WM Torrent

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 ^_^

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.

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.

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.

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.
