Freeware: SymTorrent

Have u ever heard of torrent? No idea what is torrent all about? Basically torrent makes our life easier when it comes to downloading big-size files such as movies, mp3s, softwares etc. If u wanna know more, just google it. To download torrent file, we need to have a torrent client. For pc, there are quite a numbers of torrent client. But i'm not interested in that cos i surf the net using my lovely Nokia E70. After googling it, i found the torrent client for Symbian OS 9.1 3rd edition, SymTorrent.

SymTorrent is a freeware. Meaning u don't have to pay a single cent. I love freeware ;). The version that i use is 1.12. I can't remember from which site i downloaded this app but just google it. Not a problem.

I've been using this app for at least 2 months, and manage to download a couple of full albums in mp3 format and one episode of tv series, using 3G connection. The average size is around 400 MB. While it took a bit longer than the broadband connection, i'm satisfied with this app. What more can i say?

SymTorrent is very easy to use. Just download the torrent file, add it to SymTorrent, then, start downloading. I advise to upgrade ur memory card to at least 1 GB before downloading the file. U can leave the app running in the background while downloading the file.

In terms of speed, IMHO, it depends on the connection and seeders. I'm using 3G connection, so can't complaint much on the connection speed. It's slower than average broadband connection but faster than GPRS. If the file u're downloading has more seeders, it'll be faster.

I highly recommended this app to those who like to download movies, series etc using their phone.

p/s: don't forget to subscribe for 3G unlimited data plan. Or else, be prepared to pay a hefty bill.
