I wouldn’t recommend a phone. It would kill your battery, and speeds would be terrible. Find an older computer or a beat up laptop and install qbittorrent on it. You might also need to forward the port.
To allow multiple simultaneous connections over the network, computers use these things called ports, which are numbers used to identify the connection. When the operating system sees that a network packet has arrived, it looks at the port and then forwards the packet to the right application.
Routers create a local network that is isolated from the outside, and all the traffic that goes to or comes from the internet, goes through the router.
If someone wants to connect to you, they have to go through the router. By default, routers will just refuse any connection coming from the outside. They do allow connections from the inside going out. Note that after the connection is established, communication can be bidirectional. Think of it like a social network where you need to be friends with someone to chat. Establishing a connection is like sending a friend request.
Port forwarding basically means telling your router “if someone tries to connect to you on port XXXX, forward those connections to port YYYY on computer ZZZZ”.
I guess for iOS, you have to sideload, bit there is a transmission app. You can sideload using altStore, jailbreak (I think there is a .deb, else you have to use a IPA installer) or using a service that has enterprise certificate in order to sign and install apps.
A short string used to identify files shared via P2P software. You paste it into a Bittorrent client and it’ll then try and piece the file together from other users who have done the same thing.
As an example, here’s one for Warzone 2100, an excellent free open-source real-time strategy game:
I started my computing career with OS/2 . I am downloading the full archive now and I hope to make it available on Mega by the end of the week.
I’ll try to set up a torrent seed while I am at it too.
It’s already on the Internet Archive:
https://archive.org/details/hobbes-os2-archive_202401
Let me know when you get the torrent up, I’ll help seed.
edit: just curious, how big is it?
edit 2: never mind, I found it. 18gb. Easy peasy

If you post the magnet link I will put it on a seedbox and forget about it for a while ^^
