SymTorrent v1.30 S60v3 SymbianOS

SymTorrent is the first full-featured and complete BitTorrent client for Symbian OS. It supports downloading multiple torrent files at the same time, is capable of both downloading and uploading and can save the status of your unfinished torrents, so you can resume the downloads after restarting the application. You can also check the status of each file inside a torrent along with several other statistics and properties during download.
Currently, it is available for mobile devices based on the S60 Platform 3rd and 2nd edition.
SymTorrent is free (and open source) software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. We highly appreciate any help. If you like this software and want to support the development of SymTorrent by making a donation, you can do so via PayPal.
SymTorrent 1.30 is released. This is a major release, we've fixed and added several things so make sure you update your version. SymTorrent has become much mure stable and efficient. One of the changes is that from now on, SymTorrent will be available in two different installable versions. For everyday usage you should download SymTorrent without the built-in tracker, for it saves you some memory and disk space. More significant changes are as follows (for the complete list check out the release notes):

End game algorithm has been implemented, downloading shouldn't slow down at the end. When a torrent enters end game, an "EG" label is shown next to the download percentage in the torrent's status view.
In the torrent status view the total number of peers is displayed (in brackets) along with the number of connected peers.
The settings menu has been divided into a couple of subparts (separate page for general, proxy, and tracker settings).
Piece hashes are checked when a new torrent is opened. If matching files are found in the target directory then those parts of torrent won't be downloaded again.

"SymTorrent disconnects good peers after handshake" MAJOR BUG fixed (apparently it caused that SymTorrent disconnected from around the third of the peers right after handshake).

Latest version is 1.30, built on June 28, 2007
SymTorrent is available in two different installable packages. For everyday usage you should download SymTorrent without the built-in tracker, for it saves you some memory and disk space. The tracker version is not thoroughly tested and may contain more bugs.
