BitTorrent/P2P on PPC working!

Hy everybody,
i think I got really good news: I got a BitTorrentClient working on my PDA. Its a Dell Axim X30H. I downloaded a 2MB file and recieved it with about 10kb/s and it was working afterwards.
If you dont believe check the attached screenshot.
Im just trying to download a 680MB CD Image but the downloadrates seem to be very low. I dont know if this is a problem of the PPC or the file (sharing). If I can get the CD-Image downloaded I'll perhaps post a quick guide how to set up BitTorrent. I tell you: I spend the whole night working on this. There are/were many limitations which are nowhere documented!

=== Just a small update ====
Now im downloading with about 50kb/s. I think its a good rate and you wont get better with a normal PC
============================

Very nice dude. If you can get tell me how to do this I'll love you forever lol. At my school there is a wireless network that I use to connect to AIM, etc. If I could use it to download things that would rock!

Sounds cool but I'm curious why you would want to download from BitTorrent users via your PPC? May I ask what you need to download with your PPC that you aren't downloading via your PC? I guess I can't really see a use for this.

I can think of many uses for it. For one, not everyone has a high speed connection at their house. I don't, and can't get one. You could use this somewhere like Panera that has a wifi connection.

Okay, got the problem located: BitTorrent is using to much ram if the files are to large. Dont know if its possible to make BitTorrent allocated less ram and free it afterwards!

why not leave your computer on all night?

I always leave my desktop computer on. I've been doing so for many years.

I personally would love to use my PC as a boat anchor, If life could carry on with just a pocket pc. This is one more step in that direction.

Can't wait to read the "How To"!

okay, i tracked down the problem: The/My axim hasnt got enough ram. I checked on PC and you need at least 80MB of FREE Ram to download a file with ~600MB . I'm searching for a solution and how to lower the ram usage but im not sure if there will be a solution!
