WinMobile Torrent 2.1 Released
November 8th, 2006 Jason Dunn
“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. WinMobile Torrent is the first BitTorrent client for Windows Mobile Pocket PC that brings all the cool things to you, wherever, whatever and whenever you want them. The capability is unlimited.”
There are some things you can do on a Windows Mobile device that fall into the “sure you CAN do it, but why would you want to?”. A Bittorent client is one of those things: this release from Adisasta Software looks impressive in terms of features, but the battery drain of leaving your Pocket PC powered on with WiFi running long enough to download a distributed file would seem to negate the usefulness of this application under most circumstances. Still, it’s impressive to see software like this developed, and there may be scenarios where your Windows Mobile device is your only way of getting a file from a torrent…in which case this software would be perfect!
