Torrentula v1.2 - a BitTorrent Client for the iPod Touch


MobileBitTorren-iPhone

Mangolad (a.k.a. John) of the iPod Touch Fans Community Forums, recently posted about a Torrentula update that he now has available for download.

Torrentula v1.2 adds the ability to run the app on any and all firmwares available thus far.

Requirements:

* Jiggy Runtime: Install the newest Jiggy Runtime first from the installer. If you don’t see it listed in installer, add http://jiggyapp.com/i to your installer sources.
* BSD Subsystem: Most users will already have this.
* A way to download .torrent files onto your device: Use the HistoryDL.app (recommended) or the Safari Download Plugin to get .torrent files onto your device with mobile safari.

Use:
Download .torrent files to your device with the HistoryDL.app (recommended) or the Safari Download Plugin into the mobile (or root)/Downloads folder. The program will scan your mobile (or root)/Downloads folder for new torrent files, and will import any valid .torrent files regardless of their filename or extension. When a torrent has finished downloading from peers it will be automatically moved to mobile (or root)/Media/Downloads when tapped. Note: Torrents continue downloading even when program is closed. A device restart can often activate/fix stubborn torrents.

Installation:
To download Torrentula v1.2, add the following source to installer: http://itouch.rockt.es/repo.xml
