My TFP is coming in tomorrow, and I'm stoked. I've been stuck using my girlfriends computer, so it'll be nice to use something other then my cell phone for internet and what not.
I'm not sure how torrent programs run on the Android OS. So my question is which program runs the best and what kind of performance can I expect of it being that it's running on a mobile platform.
Thanks,
Spartan

TTorent in Market, the lite version has a limit of 250kb/s if you buy the full version for 3$ you can unlocked the speed to anything you like. Also other than it freezing my tablet once an awhile on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (haven't used it on my prime yet) its a solid app.

Do you have the option to chose a directory to save the torrent in. I.E. a external hdd?
You can't save any file to a HDD on the prime as it has no USB port but I would suggest adownloader as its free and has no limit
You have two options for a usb port.
A) An adapter made by Asus to be plugged in the charging port.
B) Use the Dock. Which has a USB port.
And do these two programs work as well as a pc version?
Adownloader works good, no major problem.

+ 1 its the best
ADownloader works well, but I don't think it handles magnet links.
I'm currently using ttorrent lite and it doesn't cap me at 250. Never froze on me and it allows for feeds and automatic downloading :-D.
Tmobile g2x with Phoenix Blood.
Asus transformer Prime ICS with root.
aDownloader is the best one!
It freezes your tablet for some moments if it passes above 2-2.5 megabytes download, but you can cap the dl speed in settings.
ADownload
I using aDownloader and its pretty good. Sometimes i do have issues like it not actually starting a torrent. But other than that find a torrent with high seeds and it has no problems at all. Couple of advanced settings as well make it that bit easier.
Would be nice to get a tablet version of it though. Would make it easier and more user friendly.
I use nzbleech, I download the nzbs from nzbmatrix, download straight to my tablet and then unrar with unrar pro. This also helps with the issue of copying 4+ gb files making windows explorer crash on my pc

Is there a setting I need to change to be able to download torrents? I've tried atorrent, ttorrent, and aDownloader, and none of them seem to be able to start downloading. I use private sites, and don't have any problems with any other computers on the network. Thanks!
I've tried Ttorrent but had to stop using it because I had letters sent to me from my service provider about Copy Rights laws:/ I guess I had it coming.
aTorrent works well. It takes a while to access the trackers and get the d/l started. Any torrent program you use is going to fetch a torrent download. Their system flags when a certain number of them are d/led for certain ISP's. You can use certain programs like peerguardian to act like an adblocker for snoopers. The ISP's don't care about the pieces you d/l, but the torrent file. It causes problems even with linux distros and other programs that are torrented to save server space and traffic.

You are talking about newsgroup binary downloading. He wanted information about torrent. That's not the same.

It wasn't from my ISP. A third party was informing my ISP that someone from my IP address was downloading illegally. In the letter had the torrent movies that was downloaded, date and time too.
Edit: I may have forgotten to set the Encryption to "Forced" back then maybe the reason why.

I'm wondering how well it plays with our Evos. There is also an android app released for it.
Yep we sell em at best buy all the time and I was able to snag one with accomedations through my job. Its amazing how easy it works and you can stream right off your hard drive to your phone. Just turn it on, creates its own hotspot and you connect to it. Its great.

that's great, the comments I've been reading on Amazon are generally negative, they all complain how the iOS app is nothing but a giant alphabetical list of all the music and other media, not divided into albums or artists etc.
How good is the Android app? I'm mainly interested in stock music and video apps on Evo, can they connect to this drive seamlessly and fluently? Does it appear like a network server to them?
well download the app and get a work around it. The interface isn't as clean as I'd like, but it gets the job done. You actually turn it on and then connect to it through your networks settings like your connecting to a network. With most things it'll download for a second to stream but then play right off the hard drive.

Saw it the other day and realized that with real use, the battery is probably going to be toast in under 3 hours....
i just got one of these. the battery lasts pretty well so far. the best thing about it by miles though is that it's built from a tiny linux server running on an omap3 cpu.
you know what that means right?
i'll give you a clue.

I had one of these for exactly one day. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not. At the time I was using an Acer tablet that had a USB port, so I didnt really need it anyway.
But I will say that it worked horribly for me.

I use "Strong VPN". It works in all my phones including SGSII and on my Xoom tablet.
Although I'm unsure of what the best one is, I use Private Internet Access which has an android app. Its not free, but I chose it because it was recommended by LifeHacker and a couple others. It has lots of locations to choose from.
It works pretty well, but on my PC it seems to make my connection idle at times and I have to restart.
I am already using bVPN it works very well on my laptop and android mobile, it gives me multiple connections with the same speed and reliability, you can try its servers yourself https://www.bvpn.co.uk/en/smoketunnel/

There's a fix for this with Android devices. Not sure about the touchpad. Someone said that via barnacle(I think) that they could BT tether their iPad. Maybe that's an option???

Well then bone up on your Smali and help me dig though the 4G hotspot code.
FYI - The TouchPad is not recognizing the wifi because your phone is sending ad-hoc. This is a limitation due to the security set up with WebOS.
Check out this forum post. It has some nice links. I'm sorry I can't be uber helpful and post to the forum thread with the preware "app" that allows you to do it, but that is because that link is at home and I'm at work.
Curse my lack of posting and massive lurking - I can't post outside links.
Go to forums webosnation com, and search for the thread titled "HP Touchpad AD HOC FIX/SETUP HELP! [Archive] - PreCentral ..." to start.
I've got the Ad-Hoc preware app on my TouchPad, Google DNS servers, and once I name my tether SSID and put that into the app - works like a charm. Now that my TouchPad is OC'd to 1.7 GHz & has the 4Gs even flash/web browsing appears to be going smoother.
I love my Rezound with it.

I have been a longtime user of the paid app GoToMyPC for remote access to my desktop computers from my various laptops, etc. Just recently, they made an app for the Androids. I installed it and it worked fine - on Honeycomb. The upgrade to ICS broke it.
You probably wouldn't want or need GoToMyPC (it's expensive), but as a business tool it's great, very fast, and secure. I hope it doesn't take them too long to update the app to run with ICS. I will be one of the users.
I used Teamviewer. It's simp and free.

But then you have to change your number to a GV number, and doing that would be problematic for me. Am I right in thinking this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Change what number? Your tablet isn't a phone. It links to your GMail account, and you can create a new phone number that can ring your devices on making a new account. If you mean texting people with your actual phone number then yea that might be an issue, as it shows on their phone as your GV number.
Wouldn't it use a new phone number for the texts?
