Downloads sometimes in both the default browser and in Dolphin Browser do not work for me as well. It's fairly frequent. Seems strange to me it's in both browsers, hints at a OS issue.
Personally, I think the browser is nice but extremely buggy. not ready for prime time, really.
Outside of DL on my phone or PC and transferring, I have not found a workaround on the tablet itself.
Does anyone know of a good torrent client that I could use on my phone?
EZTVDroid has one of its own, but I use tTorrent, which allows you to manage the torrent downloads directly to your SDCard. Hope you are on wifi or unlimited.
Ok i will check that one out. Atorrent doesn't work for things already on my sdcard and swarm kills my phone
I have wondered why anyone would want to use a torrent client on their phone. I personally use a remote torrent controller that controls utorrent on my pc named Transdroid. That way I can start downloads from my phone, and not bog it down or have Verizon question any high data usage.
I am not trying to say anyone is wrong for using a torrent client on their phone, I would just like to know why.

I kind of agree with you, the only reason I can think of is that they don't have an alternate Internet provider. The only other reason I can think of is that they don't have a PC and only use their phone (I had a GF like that once).
I know that I have spent a few weeks at a time away from home with no other Internet than my phone, so that is my guess.
I hadn't thought to use it to torrent though
Yes, you are right. It's two things, a "control issue" and a "pc thing".
My linux box does the majority of my torrents, but I also travel a lot and want slightly more control to manipulate the torrent on my phone itself, which is also transferable to my linux box when I get home

You can do what I do. I add/start/pause/etc. Torrents from my phone remotely using Transdroid and they download onto my computer which saves battery, data and more. Then if I am out of town and need something I torrented, I download it from the computer to my phone using my FTP server. It's really quick for smaller files and if I have a large amount, I let it transfer overnight when my phone is plugged in. Then you also have access to all files, not just those you torrented.

Perhaps someone should give this person links/options to "remote" versions since there is an alternate to what I use/do.

And an FTP server is easy as hell to set up and use and requires minimal CPU power.

I posted my second comment about someone suggesting something to that person at the same time you posted about the transdroid. They crossed each other in the ether world

Hey JMoney. I did some looking. There is a torrent client that allows you to download TO your phone. Its called Swarm Torrent Client. I costs $4.99 but I'm sure you can find the apk somewhere.

I use swarm on a daily basis, well worth the $5
I started using like, 3 days ago. Worth it, I'd say.

I actually did find swarm, but it caused my phone to reboot whenever I tried to start a torrent.
The reason I don't use something like transdroid is that my phone is currently my only Internet, as I tether to my computer to get Internet.
aDownloader (free in marketplace)
aDownloader is a native bit torrent (bittorrent) downloader for Android phones. You may search online torrent and or add torrent from local sdcard.
It is free in the marketplace but I cannot post a link due to the rules on XDA.

I no longer use swarm. Want my $ back as the dev has not updated the app to compete with new clients. It has a limited number of peers and VERY slow download rates. Not to mention a men leak that leaves ur phone really sluggish. TTorrent Full or adownloader are the two best at the moment. I recommended using torrentfu to remotely download to ur home PC instead.

Hello, I'm currentling residing in Korea. I run a dedicated NAS server with the speed of 100mbps/100mbps both up and down.
I'm hoping to find someone located in the US who can provide me a VPN account. I sometimes miss watching US tvs but due to my work hours it isn't worth purchasing a commercial VPN service. I was wondering if someone who has their own NAS server up and running to exchange VPN accounts.
Anyone interested?
Maybe the vpn you use has not provided open port. Try this. Ive been using it for more than a year http://xtreamvpnworld.blogspot.com

sup buddies. i wanna just get ur opinion on this.. HOLA internet accelerator, u can search it on google play ive been using it for a day now doing some testing... and this is the results try it yourselfs look at the attached photo

See a reply from hola.org here in XDA with details in this post.
They say they use many "technologies" for acceleration.
Hola accelerates HTTP and DNS requests, using multiple sources, compression, P2P protocols and other patented technologies (plus some other tricks!)

And he explains that the speed benefit in Speedtest.net results from simply caching the file that speedtest uses on your device. So the test only gives you the results how fast it can access your device.
Next example: youtube videos. Of course you can "accelerate" the access to a video if you do not have to download it anymore - what a surprise.
So in the end: caching in on your device makes you believe that you have a faster download.
Everything else is "Bulls__t bingo wording".
you sir have my like, only speedtest improved, anything else like browsing, torrent dling, direct downloading were normal - less than normal
