We have seen torrent clients for the PlayBook but this is the first I have seen for BlackBerry smartphones. Running a Bittorrent client on your BlackBerry will probably not do wonders for your performance or battery life but if it is something you have been wanting BBTor may be worth checking out.
Features include:
- Support resume downloads
- Support downloads of large files (over 2GB)
- Supports UDP trackers
- Registration of extensions ".torrent" and ".tor" in the Blackberry OS, allows you to open torrent files without starting the program
- Supports multiple simultaneous download torrents
- Supports all types of transport (GPRS/EDGE/3G/BES/BIS)
Check out BBTor for $2.99 in the store

So I went bought this. Waste of my money as far as I’m concerned. I tried seven different torrents and only one worked. Not to mention they fail to tell you before buying that it won’t work on 1x CDMA networks.
The concept is great, but the execution is sub par.

Puppy linux was the only thing I could get it to successfully download. I tried various torrents from the main stream torrent sites and they did not work. Magnet links did not work. I could not even get it to download my own personal self seeded files from my servers.

Amusingly being that this was purchased through mobihand, it is doubtful the developer will ever get a dime of my purchase. Poetic justice I guess.

You are wrong. I have many customers with CDMA phones, and application works well. The main trouble is that most popular trackers use udp protocol, whis is not supported by Blackberry OS through BIS/BES. So BIS/BES users have to find torrent files with http trackers.Recently there was new version of APP. There is improvement for cdma phones.
