To download torrents on an Android device we are going to use an app called TorrDroid, a popular, minimalist, and free Android torrent downloader. Some of the features of TorrDroid include but not limited to built-in torrent search, support for downloading via .torrent files and magnet links, ability to restrict app to download only on WiFi, ability to set download and upload limits, queuing downloads, detailed download progress screen, built-in file browser, simultaneous downloads, support for sequential downloading to play media files while downloading, ability to select external SD card as download destination, etc. Simply put, TorrDroid has all the features you’d expect from a good torrent downloader.
One thing to keep in mind is that being a free app, it is supported by ads. But the ads are not intrusive like in other apps I’ve tried (i’m looking at you uTorrent), at least as of writing this guide.

Download Torrents on Android
To get started, search for TorrDroidin Play Store and click on the install button to install the app on your Android device. Once installed launch the app from the app menu.
As soon as you launch the app, it will ask for a few permissions to work properly. Give those permissions by tapping on the “Allow” option.
To download torrents you either need to have access to the .torrent file or magnet link. Since the app already lets you search for torrents using the built-in search feature, do try it. Simply enter the keyword, select the torrent type, and tap on the option “Search.”
The app will show you all the available torrents from trusted sites. If one of them is to your liking then tap on it to start the download process. Or you can download the torrent file (.torrent) from other sources say your computer and import them into the app to start downloading.
However, as much as possible, always download torrent files from official websites. For instance, I’ve downloaded Linux Mint torrent file from the official website. This ensures that the torrent is genuine and free of any nasty stuff. To add a .torrent file to TorrDroid, tap on the “Add” icon and select the option “Add torrent.”

The above action will open the built-in file manager. Here, navigate to the folder where you’ve stored the torrent file and select it. To quickly change between internal and external SD card, you can use the top drop-down menu.
As soon as you select the torrent, TorrDroid starts downloading the file. Depending on the file size and download speed, it might take some time to download the file. You can see the estimated time remaining (ETR) at the bottom.
Managing Torrents
By default, TorrDroid will download torrents regardless if you are on WiFi or on mobile data. If you want to avoid downloading on mobile data, tap on the Settings icon (three vertical dots) appearing in the top right corner and select the option “Settings.”
In the settings panel, select the checkbox next to “Download over WiFi only.” This ensures that the torrent file will only be downloaded when you are connected to a WiFi network. If you are disconnected from WiFi, the torrent downloading is automatically paused. When you are back to WiFi, the download starts again.
As I said before, TorrDroid gives you greater control over torrent downloading. For instance, if TorrDroid is hogging all the bandwidth and making your other internet activities slow then you can change the download and upload speeds to meet your needs. To change the individual torrent settings, tap on the “Options” icon (three horizontal lines). Also, the options icon wiggles itself so its hard to miss.
The above action will open the Info tab. Here, scroll down and enter speed in KB’s under Download Rate Limit and tap on the save icon.
The download speed will be instantly limited freeing up the bandwidth for other activities.
Also, if you are downloading a media file and would like to watch it while downloading then select the checkbox “Enable sequential download.”
To view the additional details of the torrent like number of seeders and leechers, amount downloaded and uploaded, number of pieces, share ratio, etc., navigate to the “Status” tab.
If there are multiple files in a torrent and you would like to pick and choose which file to download, you can do so from the Files tab. Navigate to the Files tab and uncheck the files you want to avoid downloading. Since I don’t have multiple files I can’t really choose but you can if you have multiple files.
Once the torrent has been downloaded, navigate to the destination folder using your favorite file manager. You can find the folder/file path in the Info tab.
That’s all there is to do and it is that simple to download torrents on Android. Comment below sharing your thoughts and experience about using the above method to download torrent on Android.

I am a download junkie and I mostly do it via torrents. uTorrent is my favorite torrent downloader for Windows as its low when it comes to consumption of system resources but extremely feature-rich at the same time.
One feature I like about uTorrent is that it allows me to manage my downloads from my Android phone no matter where I am, as long as both my phone and PC are connected to the internet. Previously, I used to schedule my downloads using uTorrent scheduler, but now I no longer have to do that. All I need to do is, open the app on my phone and tap a button.
Sounds amazing, right? So let’s see how you can configure it on your Android device.

Step 2: Click on Option—>Preferences to open uTorrent configuration window. Navigate to the Remote tab and put a check against the option Enable uTorrent Remote Access. Provide a computer name and a password for your computer and click on Apply button.
Step 3: If the name is unique, the program will successfully make an account but if the username already exists, it will prompt you to type in the answer to the security question which obviously, you will not know about. Thus, you will have to use another name for your computer.
Step 4: When uTorrent has successfully connected to the server, it will show you the status as Accessible. It means you can now connect to your uTorrent remotely and manage the downloads.
Next: Remotely Connect to uTorrent on Android
Step 1: Install uTorrent remote on your Android from Google Play Store and launch the app. When you start the application for the first time it will ask you whether you have an account or not. Tap on the button that says I have an account and provide the computer name and password you configured in the uTorrent on desktop above.
Step 2: If the login credential matches with the one you provided on your system, it will connect to uTorrent on your computer and sync all the download details to the device.
Step 3: You can now have a look at all the files in your download queue and check real-time progress of active downloads. You can pause, resume and delete an ongoing download right from your mobile.
That’s not all, you could even add a torrent using the remote app. Open the Downloading page and open the app menu. In the app, select Add and provide the URL of the torrent file.
Cool Tip: If you don’t have access to Android, you can remotely connect to your uTorrent using your browser. Just open the uTorrent Remote page and provide the computer name and password. After a successful connection, you can access all your uTorrent torrents right from your browser.I always keep uTorrent remote connection active so that I can unfailingly have access to my torrents from anywhere and see their download status.
