title: how do I run torrents on android?
body: <p>I am not aware of any application on android that is capable of downloading torrents. So in-case I would like to port an Ubuntu application like transmission or another similar light weight application would it be that easy. How much of socket programming would I actually require to do in such a case.</p>
  
  <p>Also if anyone is aware of a project of this nature which is ongoing, I would love to have a look at it. I specifically intend to do this for android 1.6 and 1.5, so I think that makes any new API's which might have been released for this purpose pretty redundant.</p>
