Anyone know of a good "working" bittorrent client?

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.

Plants vs Zombies Free Amazon App of the Day

Today only. It takes a few mins to download, so be patient

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!

Yeah i'll get it once i'm home, work doesn't allow phones to use their wifi...

i have the amazon app and prompts me to put in my card number and addy and stuff.. do all of you need to do that too??

they use one click purchasing with the app store so youll need to have a default card set in your one click settings.

Skype video chat?

Does Skype work with the front facing camera for video chat? I'm thinking of getting the D3, but have heard mixed responses as to whether skype works...

There's no video option on my installed Skype app. Disappointed.

Theres many options besides skype.

Do tell.
How can my wife and I (both new D3 owner's) video chat with each other?
Thanks

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.

still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!

Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

i have found yahoo messager to be my choice for video chat.

@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

same thing here

Same Problem here
I'm having the same problem here. I am able to see the user on the computer, but they're not able to see me. I performed several re installations and cleared the cache multiple times, is there something I am missing here? Not quite sure how it is working for some and not others.

Wifi hack

Ok I did the wifi hack yesterday and I whent back to stock to do it can I reflash cm9 and keep that hack I did or do I have to redo the radeo hack?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA

The WiFi hack is based on the radio.img which ROMs do not flash over. Only when you sbf the phone do you need to redo the hack (or Motorola pushes out an update with updated kernel/radio images).
I do not know if Hashcode's ICS has the stock "Hotspot" app or if even works on ICS.
WiFi Tether apps do work under ICS so you don't actually need the radio hack.

Ok thank you and I know the wifi apps work om ics but it did not work on my wii for online play but the wifi hack did I guss I can try other wifi apps with it and see but thank you for your help man

So you use data from your D3 to play online with your Wii? How good does that work. I would think that would be pretty laggy?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA

If any of these wifi hack apps don't end up working out... I've been using a wifi hack app that lets me crack wep and wpa2...it's pretty cool. Check it out on mobilewifihack.com

Could you post that .apk file here? Just change .apk to .txt and upload it to a post as an attachment. Thanks. I don't feel like doing that spam survey crap.

Mobile Hotspot?

Anyone have problems getting their touchpad to find a mobile hotspot from your android phone? If not, what app do you use? I'm rooted and have tried open garden and one other that I forgot the name of. Both didn't show up on my touchpad when scanning for a wifi connection.

Ok, I'm bringing this back up because I still havent really found a way to wifi tether with my Droid X2. I have done some research since posting this thread and found out that my Droid X2 only puts out an ad hoc connection which the TouchPad doesnt recognize. I have came across a couple possibilities though.
One is a patch that modifies wpa_supplicant. Not really sure what or where that is since I just found it and havent been able to play around with my TouchPad yet. But I think that patch is device specific and needs to be modifies IF it is to work for the TouchPad. Not sure. Here is a couple links.

Patch on XDA:

Another possibility and probably the easiest fix is downloading the app "zt 180 ad hoc wifi switcher" from the play store.

I will try the app when I get around to messing with my TouchPad which might not even be until tomorrow. But if anyone else tries either of these methods (or any other that works) and has success, please let me know.

Try Wifi tether for root, they have in the Google store. I have not used the latest one but if you have problems with it go to there web site and find the 3.0-pre12. I use that on my Droid Charge and have not had any problems.

I've tried a bunch of wifi hotspots apps, including wifi tether. The problem is my phone only puts out an ad hoc network which doesn't show up on the touchpad. I don't know what the Droid charge puts out.

I use foxfi and use the wifi and bluetooth options

You need an app to access the hotspot from your phone? I always just turn my phone's hotspot on and connect to it, never knew you needed an app. Interesting. Done this on gingerbread and ICS roms for my Inspire 4g.

Dunno what to tell ya... I have an SGS 2, a Dell Streak 5 and a 7 and A Galaxy Note... on all of those the only thing I use is the native hotspot tether with no issues with them putting out a signal to any other device I have
Maybe you oughta look at some type of wpa_supplicant tweak for the Droid X2, not the TouchPad, that you may need to implement to get tethering functioning correctly

Well I managed to get it working with pdanet on the touchpad and foxfi on my phone. But that's the only way it works. Weird. At least it works one way though.

Stock WebOS cannot see Adhoc networks. I'm not sure if the Droid X2 supports AP tethering.
