Not too long ago, in a galaxy not far away, torrenting was done exclusively with the computer. Even to download files we did not even do it that way, but through P2P programs like eMule. Now, with our small pocket computer called a mobile phone, we can download files without installing heavy programs, without having to be, almost, an engineer to open ports on our router and in a few simple steps.
If you want to download torrent files on your mobile phone, all you have to do is follow the guidelines that we show you here. For this we offer you five alternatives, five applications to download torrent files on your Android mobile. Of course, from your expert we always advise you to stay within the law and download only those files that are free of copyright or with the permission of the author.
uTorrent Downloader
One of the most popular torrent file download managers for PC makes its landing on the Android operating system. This application is free, although it contains ads and a premium version, and its download file varies depending on your device, around 13 MB. Downloading torrent files with uTorrent is very easy.
All we have to do is click on the magnet file of the torrent that we want to download (when you see the icon of a magnet, click on it) and it will open directly in the application. It also has a practical torrent search engine from which we can find what we are looking for. In addition, we can pair the uTorrent mobile application with the application installed on our PC to manage the files remotely. The torrents to download can also be added through their URL.
In addition, in the side menu, we have the option to 'discover' where we can find the most downloaded torrent files of the moment, in case the adventurous vein appears. In the configuration we can tell the application to only download files when it is connected to WiFi, as well as limit the speed of downloading and uploading files. In the application itself we have two shortcuts to our music and video library.
Bittorrent
Another of the most popular torrent download applications in the computer version. BitTorrent is also an application whose design is, practically, traced to that of the previous one reviewed (both applications are created by the same developer). We can add torrents through their own URL, by opening the file once downloaded or by clicking the magnet icon that we see next to the files themselves. When you press it, the application you are using to download these files will open and the download will begin.
This application is free, although it contains ads and has a premium paid version, and its download file has a weight of 13 MB, although it may vary depending on the phone on which you download.
Flud
The best thing about this application to download torrents on our mobile is that, as soon as you open it, it offers you the possibility of downloading the downloads if you are not under a WiFi connection, so you will not forget it. Also, unlike the previous two that want to know where you are, it only asks for your permission to access your mobile library. From this moment, everything goes as it is known in these types of applications. To download a torrent file, either we open it directly, we paste the URL in the magnet icon that we see at the top of the application or, on the page where the torrent file is, we will press the magnet so that it sticks directly to the app. We also have another possibility, which is to add the torrent file that we have downloaded to our mobile through the '+' button.
We also have a torrent search engine and a settings section where we can assign a download folder, schedule the application to run at a certain time, adjust the designated bandwidth… In short, Flud is one of the applications for most comprehensive torrent download we've seen. In addition, it contains free settings that are paid in other apps, such as automatically turning off the application when the file is downloaded. Of course, we have to endure the ads and we cannot pay to remove them (although we can buy the paid version for 1.65 euros). Its installation file has a weight of 6 MB although everything will depend on the phone in which you install it.
Torrdroid
In this application, they give great importance to the torrent file searches that you do, since it is the first screen that appears when we open it. On the sides we have the download history screen and the download history screen itself. The way to add torrent files is exactly the same as in the previous applications, we even have a '+' button to add the downloaded torrent files (be careful, the files, not what we download with the files). The application is free, with ads (we can remove them for a fee of about 2 euros) and has a 10 MB installation file.
Vuze Torrent Downloader
Vuze is a very popular torrent file download manager on PC that has found its own niche within the applications of the Android ecosystem. Vuze is one of the torrent download applications that has asked us the most permissions, so it is something you have to take into account. The mechanism is exactly the same as in the previous utilities and the application consists of three tabs, all the torrents, those that are in download and those already completed. The ad-free version is priced at 4.42 euros and its installation file is 5.14 MB.
