I have been on the road without my netbook and I find that the current Maemo version of Transmission Bittorrent client will very often not associate with the 'cloud' for most torrents, I belive this is at least partly an ISP related issue. I have had better luck getting a torrent download to work when I save the .torrent file and run transmission in chroot Debian as long as the torrent has real tracker.
It would be useful to have an up to date native Maemo Transmission release to allow magnet links direct from the browser, up to date peer-exchange, and current encryption considering that bittorrent technology is leaving the .torrent file, fixed trackers, and open unencrypted communication behind in favor of the magnet link, encrypted packets that an ISP has trouble selectively blocking, and peer exchange to decentralize the network discovery.

BTW I saw that it is now possible to carry an offline copy of the Pirate Bay magnet link database on a flash key.

Even if Pirate Bay went down the torrents would remain alive and this would be a key in connecting to that orphaned network.

(update) According to the above article it appears that at least the Pirate Bay will be ending support for .torrent files soon so our current native Maemo Transmission release will become incompatible at least with TPB, but other sites are sure to follow in order to save bandwith leaving .torrent file support a legacy feature for most users rather than the primary supported format.

So after a bit of research it seems that Transmission for Maemo up to v1.76 was done by qwerty123 who dropped out of the Maemo scene about a year and a half ago. Looks like he was behind quite a few great apps. Any thought on who to approach for an updated build?
