Torrent app??

I think it'd be really great to have some kind of torrent client for android. Not sure it's possible but it'd be cool to be able to download videos etc. Directly to the sd card so I wouldn't have to transfer files back and forth.

Thoughts?

here we go. As soon as a torrent app gets posted Google will step in just like apple and make the market lame and then everything will have need to be approved before released. LOL @ Torrent app idea. Maybe while were at it we can ask for a Crack Dealer locator app. I mean if were gonna ask for illegal ish, why not get hardcore about it.

I know you added "ish" to the end of "illegal", but I just want this to be said clearly...

Bittorrent is absolutely legal. And while I will admit that it's biggest use, by far, is illegal piracy, it should be known that torrenting can be, and is, used for perfectly legal file sharing every day.

Also, I am a huge bittorrent user... legality of my use aside [

], I would never ever use a bittorrent app on my G1... Just no need, imo.

and yes, I'm aware that "illegal piracy" is redundant...

I won't get into the legal/illegal aspect, but I could see a torrent app being allowed as long as it's limited to WiFi connectivity only, like Amazon MP3.
