Anyone know of a good "working" bittorrent client? - Xoom Themes and Apps

Subject says it all

I'm using mTorrent Lite for when im connected to WiFi. Works great. Obviously not suggested when on 3G.

what about something like PeerGuardian/equivelant to go along with it?

I'm using mtorrent as well but only getting 1mb sec load speed. I have 4 meg DSL.. shouldn't it be at 400k a sec?

In the same vein, has anyone seen a usable Usenet app?

I'm trying to use mtorrent but every time I try to add a torrent, nothing happens. It keeps saying to add a torrent. How is everyone else using mtorrent.

I use NewzDroid and it does exactly what I expected it to. They also make the software Unrar and Unrar Pro... it would be really nice if they would just integrate the applications together though.
I see that there is now another offering on the Market called Droid NewzLeecher (which appears to have some pretty bad reviews)

The app that I use is ttorrent and I love it. I have tried all of them and this one is by far the best. I get speeds on average of 250kb/s but that might be due to the speed of my wifi connection.

I don't have a Xoom, but on my Nexus One I use the free uTorrent remote app. This is not torrenting on the phone, it torrents to my home computer running uTorrent. However, the app allows you to download the files from your home computer once they are completed. It is a very clean app and works great on my phone, so if it runs on the Xoom and that way of doing things works for you, it might be a great solution.

I'm aBTC on my desire. Give it a go.

swarm is one of the best clients i've seen, but it is $5.

Openspark

Does anyone know what happened to Openspark? It was basically the best Xbox live app there ever was...
My first guess is that Microsoft made them take it off the market with windows 7 phones coming out...

There's two other good ones now. 360 Live (purchase only) and Xbox Live Statistics (free, beta)
Sent from my Captivate
If you are looking for open spark i can extract the .apk if you really want it. I usually prefer it over 360 Live since i can refresh whenever i wish.
Yeah. Can you post the apk please?

Can someone please post the apk..
I downloaded xbox live stats and it does everything open spark did i believe. It does however seem to take longer to load, even on wifi. Could be just me, who knows. But it is still a beta so chances are it will improve. I would still be interested in the openspark apk though.

Openspark no longer works thanks to newest Xbox Live update. See here:

[Q] Wondering about Evernote and Dropbox

Do you know if/how well Evernote works on Honeycomb on the Xoom?
I sort of figure Dropbox works OK, but would like to know about your experience with that too.
Thanks!
I've only used it lightly over the past 2 days but Evernote appears to work OK. No FCs that I can recall.
I use both and they work great!
I haven't had issues with either application, both seem to work great and I have been using them extensively on the Xoom. Evernote updates rapidly between. My EVO and Xoom as well.

Same for me on my Xoom. Both work great. Evermore doesn't look all that nice but it works flawlessly for me.

Been using dropbox since i got the xoom...no problems at all.
Thanks for all the replies everybody. I use both apps extensively, so it's good to know they'll work with the Zoom.

Torrent App for Phone

i have tried both ttorrent and dtorr and neither one works. i can add torrents but they never start downloading.. i am using bamf remix 2 beta 5. any ideas? has anyone been able to get torrents to work?
Am pretty sure Torrents around here are taboo and not to be discussed but I could be wrong. I'll follow the thread out of curiosity.
I dont see why? torent apps are 100% legal its what you downlload that "Could be illegal" and he was not asking anything about that kind of stuff
I'm on stock Rom and ttorrents works really well.

I use transdroid to control my seedbox. I think you could set it up to control the torrent client on your pc.

Adownloader is the best I've used. It has no download speed limit and its free.
I use swarm. The downloads start pretty fast and i haven't had a problem so far.

In tTorrent - did you go into Settings and uncheck the "Use Wifi Only" option?
Torrent-fu is my favorite.

In re-reading the thread, it appears you were asking for local clients for the phone. Torrent-Fu controls a remote PC. Sorry about that.
Make sure in torrent under settings that you uncheck the option to use WiFi only.

ttorrent works for me on BAMF 1.6.3

this is what i do as well, it works really well for adding torrents to deluge on my vps. as far as using a torrent client on your phone that downloads directly to your phone, i would not do that personally unless you are using a public tracker like thepiratebay since any reputable tracker is most likely not going to allow a tracker from the android market. i tried andtorrent or something similar just to see if it would work on one of my private trackers and i was immediately banned from the site for using an unapproved client.
I really wish people would quit getting all bent out of shape about torrents. Not every torrent is something illegal. However, it makes it easy to see who has ever downloaded a linux distro by how much they think torrents are bad (hint: is a primary way to download most linux distros).
If the apps arent working already made, just compile one using android NDK (native development kit) (provided by google if you search) or try something like http://inportb.com/2010/10/17/debian-packages-on-android-phones/. The later lets you port debian arm packages to your phone for use and debian includes the biggest command line torrent software out there, rtorrent. For a cli app, rtorrent is very easy to use and you can just let it run in the background without the fear of it hogging your system like some gui apps might. Only downside with using debian packages is they're probably not going to use the same libc built into android, which runs faster, but oh well, shouldnt make a huge difference.
I liked swarm but I have had the best luck with andtor.

Plants vs Zombies Free Amazon App of the Day

Today only. It takes a few mins to download, so be patient
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Its just under 80 mb, but it works great, no lag at all.
Nice I played this on the PC too
anyway to download the apk to your pc then transfering? says wifi only
You might be able to download it via amazon web page but I've never tried that. Really, all you gotta do is leech off public wifi (starbux, verizon store, a library, etc) a few mins. Turn on your wifi & drive around, you'll find one unless you live in the hills
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Tried to download on mobile network first and it wouldn't work, but it went pretty fast on my wifi at home. I think its kind of cool that the Amazon appstore has the functionality to require a wifi connection to download an app. I like it. Very smart.
I like the idea of the limit, but it would be nice if there was an option to not have it limited in the app..
but ya, plants vs zombies was a great game to waste a few minutes on pc so it was an instant download for me.. just gotta make sure my 5 year old dosent find out about it or else ill never get my phone back!

they use one click purchasing with the app store so youll need to have a default card set in your one click settings.
Its a great game ..been playing it off and on all day

VNC (Server) for Bionic??

Are there any client (pc)/server (phone) apps that work for VNC on this phone? I keep getting a crooked screen and would LOVE to fix this
Tony
Team viewer works nicely and has mac, pc, and android versions. Just make sure you set the forced password or you have to ask client every time to read it to you. There are free and paid versions I use the paid in the office because it works so well cross platform (both free and paid) oh also set as startup item on the client or you will have to make the client launch it.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I don't think you understood what I said.
I want the phone to be the server and the desktop to be the client.
In other words, I want to take my phone over from VNC. All the clients that I have tried so far end up with a 70-80 degree crooked screen when I view my phone from my laptop.
Ahhh, I see my bad man I stared at it for a second too. well I have no real suggestions then sorry I looked on the market and did a quick google search but I found only 2 which im sure you already tried. One has lost all dev support and reported to not work on ATRIX so not much hope there and a beta on the market im sure you have seen. Sorry man.

Tried the app that was for Atrix. Will start but fails to accept connections. Also looking as well..
