    well for those of you who cant wait for this torrent app.... you can use a torrent downloader via the web browser...

    sort of complicated but here we go:
    1. go to www2.torrelay.com, yes thats a 2 before the period.
    2. open a new window... go to mininova.org and search(search iphone for mp4 formatted movirs, they work great!).
    3. click and choose your torrent...then when you are at the screen where it says "download this torrent", press menu and select go to url.
    4. take the digits on the end of the url usuall 5-9 numbers...
    5. switch windows, launch torrentrelay, add torrent, mininova id
    6. enter the digits from the torrent as the id and download...
    7. saves to sdcard
    8. DO NOT CLOSE WINDOW... it will get faster as it goes on... but if you want to browse the web while waiting open a new window

    But you can't use it for mp3s cause it won't let you save them back for some stupid reason.

    I think amazon made google try and force the android platform to make you go thru amazon for mp3 downloads... at least tried...
    So far the only way to download mp3s from sites other amazon is hope that they are posted directly to the server or host.. not time screens from zshare for example since there's not flash support on websites so far.
