BitTorrent Comes to Cell Phones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tracker-still-down-anyway dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Finally, a BitTorrent interface for the mobile phone. Dubbed uTorrent mUI, the web user interface allows the end user to control torrent downloads remotely. The interface still lacks the ability to add torrents, however bringing BitTorrent capabilities to the cell phone is a giant step forward."

  1. I think cell phone companies would like this... by MuscaDomestica · · Score: -1, Redundant

    They charge by the amount uploaded or downloaded, could make a lot of money off of this.

  2. 5-digit phone bills by aeschenkarnos · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Good idea in theory, but the carrier companies aren't even remotely ready for it. As it stands, a simple download of an episode of Heroes would rack up a 5-digit phone bill.
