Native P2P torrent software hits iPhone

Well folks, peer to peer file transfer is hitting the iPhone, big time! An iPhone hacker ported code from the Transmission site to run on the iPhone’s ARM microprocessor. And while this is still extremely preliminary software, we’re kinda sure it will develop over time — especially when Steve bless us with the 3G iPhone.
In the meantime, it’s not advisable to use it over EDGE — the software usually crashes or reaches such “speeds” like 5kb/s — but with WiFi - sky is your limit. Here’s the link to the site from where you can get more information as well as instructions how to use it. That’s in case if you opt to try it out.

I’ve been using SymTorrent on my N95 for a while now and I’m very impressed. It’s so easy to watch the downloaded episodes straight from the phone over WiFi. No need to transfer anything to PC. Well, as long as they’re not zipped/rarred..if only there would be an application to extract RAR-archives
X-plore can extract RAR files.
but the n95 is carp…total shi7e…cant even use it in the same sentence to the iphone…
