For one reason or another, this weekend I decided to try my hand at porting a simple (and relatively old) Java torrent library, called Snark, to android. Most of the code worked directly on android, but needed some updating to meet current protocol specs (it was last modified in 2003). After 2 days of researching and hacking, I successfully downloaded a torrent using only my phone. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but I just wanted to let those of you who have asked about a client that can download to the phone that I’ve made some progress.
