I know most of you download stuff off the internet. If you consider size wise, I'm sure torrents take the first place. We let huge files download over night. It's a complete waste of resources. When a computer is switched on, all the peripherals consume power. Do we really need all of those components powered up just to download a torrent? The first thing I wish we had was an Operating System for downloading torrents where only the necessary components of the computer is running for the torrent download. It is not available. So the second options is to download using your wifi enabled mobile phone. It consumes very much less power. However the problem is, how much of downloading can a mobile phone handle before it's miniaturized wifi circuit burns out? Well I'm about to find that..............with my fathers phone of course. :D
After some internet research I found out that the most convenient torrent client is WM torrent. It costs $20. The trial version expires in 14 days. Right now it's downloading the movie 'Gamer'. I changed settings in the phone so that it never goes to sleep. The screen is permanently on and the phone is plugged in to AC power.
I will keep you guys posted on what happens in the long run.

hmm nice way of downloading torrents... how is the progress now? were you able to download the whole torrent without any problems?
Yes. The torrent was downloaded. But the phone was stuck. I think it's nothing wrong with the software. The problem is with the phone. I think to continue the experiment I will first have to fix the phone.
Impressive!
Think different and act different :D
