Energy efficient torrent downloading cntd...

Finally had some time to get me hands on the phone and install wmtorrent trial version on the new ROM. It seems with a comparatively less number of seeds, even though the computer downloads at maximum speed (50kbps), the phone downloads at a variable speed which is around 25kbps. However, by morning it still couldn't finish downloading a 174MB file. The phones become sort of slow when the software is running.

Unfortunately, cprog error which it had been having ever since I got the phone, still presumes. And it emerges more often when you try to play with it.

The phones gets heated up heavily during downloading and battery is used quite fast, so you gotta keep it plugged in. You also will have to prevent it from going to standby or else the wifi gets disabled. That means the back light will be lit all night long.

However I'm unable to complete my initial experiment (which was to test how much downloading can a mobile wifi unit handle) because the phone keeps crapping on me.

lol crapping on you? :D
Keep trying Malaka! This sure is a good idea to use a handheld rather than a lap. It sure is energy efficient :)

yeah machan. changed the OS, still the same problem with cprog.exe. It's the default dialer program of the OS. It keeps giving trouble. Because of that the phones needs hard resetting all the time which gives me a headache. Gotta find a fix for that before going any further. waiting for some free time.
