Numberzz Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well, we knew that someone would do it eventually, and the ones who did it were the folks over at wickedpsyched.net. What they did was take the popular Mac OS X torrent application, Transmission, and ported it over to the iPhone's ARM processor. As of now, it doesn't have a GUI, but it does work. All you need to do when you are in Terminal on the iPhone is ./transmissioncli (name of torrent) and it starts downloading. If you don't feel comfortable with Terminal you might want to wait until someone sticks a nice GUI on it.

PacmanMCE Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 A friend of mine is a well known developer for the iPhone / iPod touch. He wrote the Program "Fractalicious" and named himself "choo" or "jasamer" in this case. He told me, that he might write a GUI. (I think he didn't tell anyone except me) And I might help him with that when I have my iPhone and when I understand ObjC. EDIT: He just told me that it's improbable, that he'll do that. As I know him, this means exactly "I won't write this" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91664-p2p-on-the-iphone/#findComment-653981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cringemaster Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Cool, but how many people are seriously going to torrent stuff to an iphone? Youre better off sending the .torrent to your mac and having it download at home.

Mebster Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I've heard the iPhone's wifi connection isn't too strong because otherwise I'm assuming with the iPhone you could use a The Cloud wifi hotspot which is supposed to be free for iPhone users. Not sure if there's a fair use policy there though. There's also open hotspots But to be honest this doesn't sell either the iPhone or iPod Touch to be any more.

rollcage Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Totally unrealistic, who the hail want his iPhone be connected all the time to drain power and suffer the danger of virus? Well if you're not opening the files on your device you shouldn't have to worry about viruses. Battery life is a good concern though.

Software Updater Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well how are you gonna get viruses on a cell phone? Anywho it is using apple OS so I really don't think you have to worry to much about that. I could be wrong about that.
