I'm sure if anyone feels motivated to create one they can do it. However, getting the app accepted into AppWorld will be one of the first hurdles to overcome. But it's definitely do-able

just remember, it's probably the torrent downloading that fried the computer in the first place :P

[cocoa beware]

Why would it be a prob for app world to accept it.

because `most` torrents are illegal file sharing, granted some arent and im sure your in no way looking to download illegal files, but its how it looks on appworld is where the issue lies

[cocoa beware]

Thanks for all the feed back.

Yup............free is very bad for business

You wouldn't NEED to put it on app world at all.

What I would question you about is the issue of DATA. Do you have any clue how much data a torrent client would suck up? They don't call it bitTORRENT for nothing. You'd have to be crazy careful of what you DL and the duration you leave the app on for. It could all leave you with a massive bill at the end of the month. I'm talking possibly thousands of dollars! Do any of you understand? There are plenty of horror stories regarding this sort of thing...

On a Wifi PB? I'm thinking the cost of your monthly internet subscription.

[Bobcat665]

Even then, just one little oopsie with a transfer of data via the carrier (if it has a cellular radio) and you could be in the shtook. It's better to just use your PC anyway.

Of course you wouldn't need AppWorld if you know your way around manually installing apps on the system. But that is a luxury not all average or everyday BB users are equipped with.

Regarding massive bill at the end of the month from using such apps. As long as it's over a Wifi connection I doubt it will be over what you pay monthly, provided you are not on a limited usage internet connection.

[toobs623]

for the love of god would someone who knows what they're doing(obv i do not) port a client over already... and post it

[Mastajeet]

Anyone knows/thinks if the android player will bring a torrent client along?

[andrey.turovskiy]

I am the author.

App is waiting for approve more than a month and i think that is the way RIM says "no".

Actually i wanted to sell it, but first 10 of you can try it for free, if you promise to write a review here (i do not want a good review, i want your actual opinion and description of bugs).

App can be downloaded from here:

Only Illegal in the US. In Canada it is legal to download but illegal to upload, where as in the US it is legal to upload but not download atleast from what I understand of the US copyright laws. In Canada you are able to download for personal use.

It should. At least it is so for me and 5 testers.

Use playbook_tools (google playbook_tools.zip to find the site you trust or try this one LimeTrip: How To Install AngryBirds.Bar and other Apps To Your PlayBook Easily).
