I have tried multiple clients (most recently tTorrent and aDownloader) and I am getting the torrents from demonoid and they download on my home computer just fine. However, the tablet will not start the download. My connection is good and i can do other things just fine, the torrent just will not d/l.
i had the exact same issue i think the tablet cant understand the file that pc downloads for torrent thats why atorrent only allows you to search but you can pick and choose between sites using the setting

Hello All,
I've looked around Internet and the Apps market and could not find a solution.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though
I am looking for an App which is similar in function to Torrent-FU its a free all search Market.
Which is basically an App on your phone from which you can add Torrents that will initialize and download to your Main PC at home or wherever.
For me Torrent-Fu works perfectly BUT I want more.
Is there any App out there that can also remotely manage additions to download que files that are hosted on Fileshare sites such as Rapidshare, Hotfiles etc.
A WoL (Wake on Lan ) feature in the app would be great as well.
How i envision this working.
Here I am sitting at work browsing Forums on internet from my phone. I encounter links to files hosted on one of the Filesharers that I am subscribed to.
I subsequently copy the links and fire up the Remote Download Manager App. Then I press send the Magic Packets to PC Number 1 (a WoL message) and my PC 1 at home awakes from slubmer. Then I press add to download que and select the Filehost (eg Hotfile). Finaly I paste the copied priviously links into a field and press submit. And Voila my PC number 1 at home started to download files from the links I've provided.
Is this something others are interested in?
is there anything similar already available ?
Hi
Has anyone got any recommendations for downloading torrents directly through the android browser, or alternative android browsers?
I really want to be able to download torrents on my phone, but there are no reliable apps for this yet. I've noticed that in-browser torrent downloading is a way of downloading on a pc without installing additional software and I had hoped that I'd be able to do it in my android browser but I can't seem to find any that work.
any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Not quite sure what you mean. Are you referring to downloading the ".torrent' file through the browser? Because those files will go into SDCard/Downloads by default, and can be opened by a number of torrent apps like TorrentFu or Trandroid.
If you're wanting to seed/leech a torrent from your phone, itself, this is a bad idea, since torrents open up literally hundreds of simultaneous connections. On a 3G connection, this will likely throw up a red flag for your carrier if you're on a limited data plan, or if they try to charge you for additional services like tethering (even though this technically isn't tethering).
If you want to remotely manage your torrent client running on your PC (like uTorrent on a PC or Transmission on a Mac), then the above apps (TorrentFu and Transdroid) will work just fine for downloading a .torrent file from your phone and sending that wirelessly to your computer remotely, and you can manage your download from the apps.
Not sure if any of this is what you're looking for. Hope it helps!
Swarm is an Android torrent client available on the Market. I use it, and it works quite well. It also integrates with Torrent-Fu, so you can search for torrents with Torrent-Fu, and then download them with Swarm.
I have a home server (Windows Home Server) with tons of stuff on it. When I am traveling, I have tried to access and download epub format ebooks, and the browser gives me an error message that the download failed because that file type is not supported by my phone device. (Aldiko didn't help with this)
I have noticed this with other file types also.
Is there a way to download ANY file type from my home sever, even ones "not supported" by the phone? This would be very useful thing to be able to do.
The home server is accessed via a web browser (https).

setup ftp server on your home server
open a port on your router and do port forwarding to ftp port on your server
WAN port like 44444 -> serverip:21
then use a filemanger or FTP client (I use EStrongs file manager, but there are several others) to connect to the external IP of your router at port 44444 (or whatever port you chose above)

I'll have to study up a bit to do something like that. I was hoping there was just some way to allow android to download any file type through the web (http).
The FTP server solution is one way to go. Have you tried a different browser??

I have tried different browsers and apps such as crutch and download buddy. Some of those do let me download the file, but when I try to open the file, it won't. Yet, if I transfer the file by USB or Dropbox, it works fine.
Very frustrating...
Don't know that I want to go through the trouble of setting up an ftp server for something that seems so obvious... can't believe it's not part of the android OS to allow such web based file transfers within the browser???
why not use dropbox? its free, and 2gig will store a lot of epub format ebooks
https://www.dropbox.com
I use Download all files.

I use a VPN setup. i think it's the most powerful, albeit a bit tricky to setup. should you need help configuring it dont hesitate to ask. however, whatever your solution, remember a couple of limitations:
- you can access mapped net shares (smb) using almost any file explorer (i use astro), you can copy your files to the sd, but you cannot run remote files. that's because generally no app is able to deal with the smb protocol.
- to circumvent this limitation, you must be root. i don't exactly know the passages but the general method is to create a mount point to your net share (something like \mnt\network1 or whatever), so the system (and most important the apps) will be tricked to think they are dealing with local files. if you are not root, upon reboot the mount point will be forgotten. I read about this somewhere around here.
@ stoney73: I do use Dropbox, but would like to be able to access anything on my server while I am traveling.
@tenorntex: I just ran across that app and will likely give it a try.
@crashDebug: sounds interesting. I would have to do a bit of research and educate myself before I could attempt what you're describing.
Thanks all. It will be solved eventually.
OK ive just got the HD on Orange and being a complete novice to the world of smart phones, how do i get the Wifi to access the web at hotels etc?
It works on my home router fine, however im currently away on business, and want to access the hotel internet, so i can start exploring the world this of so called App's!
Ive turned it on, and found hotel network and connected.
Now to access the web via the laptop i need additional login though the web brower.
How do i do this with the HD?
Also how do i install apps?
can i download them onto the SD memory stick then install them onto the phone?
To access your hotel network via the phone, simply open up the browser on it & key in the logon info. You'll probably have to disconnect the PC first though.
Re apps, just go to https://market.android.com/ and browse and download. Or use the Market app that is pre-installed on the phone. They will be downloaded and installed automatically for you (you can also do this via your PC, assuming your Google account is up to date. Once you click on the accept button on your PC's browser, the app will be sent to your phone & installed).
Have fun!
Hi^^
Probably a strange question...but.
Guide or ideas for share file beetween X10 and PC on window 7 home ed?
PC recognize X10 wireless connection..but ask key and adress...that i never set...
help please^^
Sorry for my english
I like to use Wifi Explorer. With that, all you have to do is connect to your home wifi, run the program, then navigate to the web address given by Wifi Ex. (for ex: http://192.168.1.115:8000) You can download/upload files to your phone or zip folders on your phone to download multiple files easier.
I also find that it makes it easier to share with my friends because they can navigate to that page through their phones browser to grab apks or whatever.
- X10a Wolf 008 ~via XDA App
or MYPHONE EXPLORER its an APK on your phone and a program installed on your pc get it free from hxxp://www.fjsoft.at/
you can also transfer contacts and sms witht hsi app
SwiFTP FTP Server
SwiFTP... easy to configure and files can be shared both ways hassle-free... the best I've used till now...
i use Dropbox and VNC server so if im watching tv upstairs and cbf going downstairs i just vnc and dropbox to send stuff to and from my pc or phone or to my mates and it goes on a external server for backup
Not sure if its the best but I use Samba Filesharing from the market. The app keeps the phone awake for transfering large files which i find useful.
Thank you all guys...
I love you^^
