Some time ago we wrote about SymTorrent, BitTorrent client for Symbian S60-powered smartphones. The idea with the app was (and still is) to allow user to do their “torrent thing” right from their phone, without connecting it with his/her desktop computer.

The application has evolved since then, adding new features to the mix. One of the most notable one is that SymTorrent has been optimized to work with the latest version of Symbian S60 (5th Edition), meaning that even users with the all-touchscreen Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can get their files on-the-go.

Other features include support for downloading multiple torrents at the same time. Status saving support is also supported, enabling users to resume the downloads after restarting the app. In addition, you can see status of each file that is downloading/uploading, along with several other statistics and properties.

Torrents can be started from the browser, and selecting the files that are downloaded from multi-file torrents is also supported.

SymTorrent is free, open source software, and you can download it from here. Donations are accepted via PayPal.

What follows is a short introductory video of Imre Kelnyi, PhD Student from Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the main developer of SymTorrent.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
