I even had a server running for fun on my old symbian phone, not only torrent but also apache with python
I thought with all this opensource and so on such things will find their way to android much faster

Haven't tried it, but it claims it can download torrents to your phone.
as i read it it seems more that u can download .torrents to your androidphone and that's it
that's lame ^^
The reason that BarTor, Torrent Droid, and Transdroid do not download torrents (the actual content as opposed to the torrent file) to your phone is because it would 1) bog down your system and 2) create unusually high data consumption which would likely result in the throttling of your data plan and potentially cause more restrictive data plans for everyone. Does it suck? Maybe. Is it practical to handle this way? I think so.
Well but it would be cool to see on the phone
And there's still wifi ^^
What about the Apachewebserver?
Yes, it would be cool. Wifi would not solve the first issue.
What about the Apache Web Server? Are you talking about i-Jetty?
Mhm,

i used this on my symbianphone, and small torrents with only a few seeder/leecher worked fine in background
I think the best way to download torrents to your phone is via a computer or server running a torrent downloading client, then when the download is completed, send the computer/server would shoot the files to the phone. This would reduce data consumption and increase performance and speed of download.
Use uTorrent and it's mini Web UI. Not downloading them to your phone, but it's my app of choice for downloading torrents when I'm away from home.
You can make a server to download your torrent then once completed you could connect to your server through FTP and download the full file. For FTP client you have AndFTP:

Install Debian and then apt-get install rtorrent, works ok, but as before there is little point to it. I suppose you could even install torrentflux as well but it would run like crap on the phone.

It's not the point that I really need to, I was just wondering as there is all this working fine for symbian^^

I did all the searching I could before posting this so I hope my first thread doesn't turn out to be a fail. Firstly I got root on my phone the other day and installed the Magic image and it works really well!
My question is does anyone know if browser uploads can be enabled somehow through root? I have a torrent server setup at a friends ISP and it would be really nice to be able to upload torrent files to it on the go. Is this currently possible or is there anyone currently trying to get it working?

you might rename this thread to something like Torrent/Browser Uploads .. there may be other people looking for info on this .. i honestly have no clue .. there is only one other thread talking about torrent connections and that's via tethering .. so there could be some connection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478241
happy reading!
I guess I should elaborate, what I am talking about specifically is when you go to a page with an upload form, where you would normally select a file it just says "Uploads Disabled".
I'm not actually trying to do torrents on the phone, I essentially just want to upload a file over the browser.
Have you tried with the steel browser?

Most likely uploads like that are blocked by the carrier. If they allowed that it would bog down their network and slow everyone else down. The only uploads permitted are pictures to like facebook or myspace.
Well if i remember quite correct , it also says "UPLOAD DISABLED" when surfing via WIFI ..
Its more due to the fact that the G1 has no file browser by default and the published one doesnt go deep enough into the system (aka the browser just dont recognize them) ... :-Z

What torrent application are you running on this server? BarTor handles torrent uploads to several popular torrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent). If it's not one of those, we can certainly look into supporting the client you are using. I realize this is not quite the same as what you are asking for but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

This sucks .. for each site and upload a different app <.<
Huh? BarTor is one app, which enables download of torrent files from anywhere and upload to anywhere that is running one of the supported torrent download clients. It was only a suggestion as an option for darrin0101.
I get what you are saying though, and if this post was not specifically about torrent uploading, I'd probably not have commented at all. I wonder why no one has recompiled the browser with a file manager, or to use an existing one? I'd do it if I didn't have to download the entire android source to do it...
Well, i would if i could more than php and mysql ^^
I don't know if a filemanager can take the role for this because i dont know if the browser has a pick file hook
further this should be for nonrooted android users as well
But i would'nt say no to a fix for this only for rooted users :>
Just set up an FTP server on the remote system, and use one of the FTP clients on the market for uploading? uTorrent allows for automatic loading of new torrents in a specific folder.
Oh, and shall i upload pictures to websites this way too?
attach files to rapidshare this way too?
attach files at a forum this way too?
and so on..
has there been any progress on this yet? i would like to be able to upload pictures to my site, which is wordpress powered so i have an upload form.
Maybe give loccy a ring and see if he knows how.

I doubt that's doable granted it would probably involve modifying objects in the Browser.apk, so the people who would be able to use it on their phones would be the rooted users who can push modified browsers to their Android phones.
U have to use the oprea browser it let u upload anything.
i don't like opera too much, granted it works for this issue but the ui is ugly imho. besides i'm a bit ocd and i prefer to have the original pieces of software but working the way they should have been from the start. which usually means modding the stuff that came on the phone

i couldnt get opera to work on www.youtube.com
youtube.com probably won't work with any browser, at least until java for android comes out. why not just use the youtube app?
I would like to access my G1 SD drive over WiFi to transfer files. Is this possible?
try aFile in market

I bet we could get Samba running on this thing pretty easily
I like this app called Discover. Gives you a web interface to your phone's filesystem.

Cross-compiling Samba is a major pain in the ass! Going to try to get it working though.
i think ftp / scp will be much simplier...
btw you can mount the device as a webdev share if you use afile
In the marketplace, download OM ANTuner. It's excellent! It currently only allows downloads thru your computer browser, and I sent a request for the dev to include read and write capability to and from the android, also compatibility over GPRS/EDGE/3G. I was getting 800-1000Kb/sec transfer speeds!

aList has been working great for me the pass couple of days. Its really slick how fast it works and its easy to use.
Does OM ANTuner do anything that aList doesnt?
I'm using SwiFTP
Set my home router to always give me the same DHCP reservation.. I then use a good FTP client (On a Mac so I use Cyberduck)... basically just start SwiFTP's server and have the FTP client connect... brain dead simple.
Use it to transfer my iTunes music (non DRM tracks) from iTunes to a folder then drag to Cyberduck and other files.
There's a new app that showed up in the market over the past day or two search by date. It's an obvious name but seems to be read only.
Om sdcard wifi access is what it is called.
My buddy wants to get into android, but he was curious if there was an app where he could control his computer remotely. Like tell it to download something?
That seems extreme and not feasible to me. Any apps out there close to this though?
I need to pull up gmote and see its capabilities.

I think that you might be able to control your computer with VNC but I haven't tried.
In regards to downloading... sure. There are a lot of torrent apps that will connect to your bittorrent clients (such as utorrent or whatever). You just need to make sure everything is set up properly.
Yeah, he has utorrent on his computer currently. So can he see his desktop on his droid and open up programs on his computer?
If so, that seems unreal to me. I looked and saw on gmotes site they had a beta that sounded like this.
Can anyone confirm? Thank you guys.

If he's using a Windows Desktop, there is a RDP client on the App Market, just search for RDP. He will need to have his router setup to forward the proper ports (3389 TCP) to his computer for it to work, but I've used it to download things in a pinch, and copy it up to a webserver to download on my G1....
he's not gonna be doing anything ridiculous on it, remember there is a HUGE resolution difference b/t G1/DROID/Mobiles in general vs Computer Resolutions...
Okay, sounds very intriguing.
Let me word it differently though:
From his Droid, would he be able to see his desktop and scroll to uTorrent and tell it to download something, to his computer, not the droid.
You guys are awesome. I am floored that our G1 can do what you guys have told me. I obviously need to move beyond flashing roms and themes and learn what the guts can do.

Really what it sounds like you're asking, is he can remotely connect to his desktop, use it to search for and download the torrent file, and open it in the torrent client...? Complete remote control of his computer from off-site...? I don't know about you guys, but I have to search for and find a torrent file from a tracking site (demonoid, thepiratebay, etc.) and d/l that, then open it in my torrent client (utorrent).
I don't think this is capable yet... but I'm interested to hear more about this from those that know.
Remote Desktop Client works just like RDP and will allow you to log into your computer at home from your android phone using your windows login. Once logged in you have your trackball to move the mouse and can do anything you could do sitting in front of your computer. Its a $15 app which is really high for android OS but its been more than worth $15 all the times its saved my butt.
I also use it to monitor my utorrent download remotely.

If he has uTorrent then he can just set up the webui and forward his utorrent port on his/her router to the ip address of the computer. then download Transdroid (what I use because it has a decent widget) and set that up. TIP: use no-ip (or whatever) to set up a static ip address and change the name (like [email protected]) so you can just input that in the Default Server settings in the Transdroid preferences. It also uses isoHunt, Mininova, BT Junkie and even allows you to enter your own to search for new torrents. When you find one to download simply select it and it sends it to the computer. From there the uTorrent client will open the torrent that was sent and starts the download process. You can easily track the status of the active torrents on the client with it as well.
There are some out there that will even let you scan a barcode of a movie (useful if your in the video store) and it'll lookup the movie and send the torrent to your pc and it'll start downloading. If you have a decent enough internet connection you can go to the video store, scan a movie in the New Releases section, leave empty handed, get some Jack In The Box and by the time you get home the movie can already be on your computer ready to be viewed/burned. And it's not just for movies. It's for any other type of torrent.
Does anyone use this on Nexus One ?
Does it load your torrents ? How many torrents are currently active in your client ?
It doesn't seem to load my torrents and i can never add a torrent (Which is all i want to do really!)
I'm running Fitsnugly's CM7 latest nightly.
Any advice please ?
I run Transdroid (works with most torrent clients that have a web interface). It works beautifully, and I have a ton of torrents that are "loaded" in my client at home (I think over 600 - most are inactive, I just haven't cleaned out the screen) and it doesn't have any problem showing them. It supports loading torrents regularly, and it also supports magnet links from the browser.
Yeah, I was using Transdroid, Worked very well too like you say.
I upgraded utorrent to version 3.xx to try out their remote app which does not load for me, It also seems Transdroid will not connect with utorrent 3.xx
Looks like i will need to go back to utorrent 2.xx and use Transdroid. I was just looking for other peoples experiences with utorrents native android app, Thanks.
I haven't tried utorrent v3. And I likely won't. Once I get back to the states, I plan on doing an overhaul with my computer and switch my desktop to primarily run on Linux. Then I will go back to using ktorrent (which I really miss).
Maybe you could shoot an email off to the developer of transdroid about adding support for utorrent v3.
i use it, it lets you control torrents on your pc, no more.
You need the latest version of utorrent

You mean it won't turn my phone into a lightsaber ?
I'm sure this must have been brought up multiple times, but seriously, why not use torrents? They are error-free, resume-able, most everybody knows how to use them and users with low bandwidth or problematic connectivity will be spared a lot of frustration. They could be used in addition to http links. Your will be praised for eternity! Come on, what's the hold up?
This. Most of the file hosts suck.
I'm not sure there is enough people per ROM to seed. If XDA hosted a seeding server perhaps, but then surely it might as well be http.
I'll gladly lend my computer to seed those ROM's. I'm on a 50/50mbit fiber-optic connection.
I download plenty and most of it is through torrents, why not roms?
I would seed any rom i downloaded.
Exactly. Those with a fast connection don't really have a problem with filehosts, but not everybody has that luxury. Only yesterday I tried to download that TeamRocket's ICS beta, at 30kbps from depositfiles, took around 2hours. Towards the end, 35 seconds left, and suddenly Chrome reports it as 'interrupted'. Unlimited rage.
Is there a way to download a file via http and then start a torrent for the same file, point the download location to the file already downloaded, so that checksumming will lead it believe the file is already downloaded? That way, as soon as the progress reaches 100%, seeding can start. This way, users who paid for premium filehosting services can download via http and then seed. Does it work like that?
Edit : TeamRocket's ICS beta v1.1 is now on torrent! Now that's what I'm talking about! Also, many users have supplied mirrors. You guys are great!
