File this one under "Really? You don't want to just do that on your desktop?" Adisasta Software brings us WinMobile Torrent - a BitTorrent client for the Pocket PC. If you just can't wait to get to a full-fledged computer to get your stolen movies torrent files, then I suppose you could take a look.
WinMobile Torrent is an advanced yet easy-to-use BitTorrent client for Windows Mobile Pocket PC OS. It allows you to create, leech and/or seed torrent files from within the Application. It supports multiple and simultaneous download of torrents with numerous functions to manage, control downloads and peers in a user-friendly interface.
Eh, it's kinda cool. I have it on my Ipaq RX3715 and just use it to download TV shows or sometimes movies onto my SD card. Everything works reasonably well, and the speed of download/upload isn't affected very much by the limited resources of the device(at least my device, anyways). Speed seemed to be around 85%-90% of what my laptop was at(both were on the same wifi network and downloading the same torrent at the same time). It is pretty cool because I use my Ipaq for everything when I'm not at my house or don't have my laptop, and this is just added convenience. Also, the new version allows you view individual files if they are finished, you don't have to wait for the whole torrent to be complete. Very nice if you just wanna watch one episode but the torrent is for an entire season! All in all, it just makes my PDA more of an all around convenient device.
