Torrents on the iPod/iPhone

All of you torrent users out there will love this news. If you own a jailbroken iPod/iPhone, torrents can be in the palm of your hand. It is simple to use, whether you want it on your iPod or on your computer. Here is how to do it.

1. Download Stuff

  • In Cydia, download dTunes. This will download dTunes and Safari download plugins. The plugins do exactly what they say: they allow you to download any file from Safari.
  • In Cydia, download Mobile Terminal. You need this later.

2. Download files from thepiratebay.org.

  • You can download files from inside of dTunes, but it is hard to navigate n its window. In Safari, you have more control and it will work the same way.

3. Get the torrent running

  • Once you have downloaded the torrent file, open dTunes. Click on the torrent file.  Click OK.

4. Open Mobile Terminal

  • Inside Mobile Terminal, type “./gettorrent” (without the quotations). This will start the downloading process. Depending on your internet connection and the amount of seeders, the speed will vary. Mine peaked at about 400 kbs.

5. Get the files

  • If you want to actually get the files instead of having them just be on your device, ssh (howto here) into your device. Your downloaded files will be in root/var/mobile/Library/Downloads. You can then find the files there and move/copy them from there.

    I prepared my torrent and typed in ./gettorent just fine. But when it gets to the downloading part it says “connection failed operation timed out.” What do I need to do to get it working?
