OK people, this is my first ever tutorial here and most of u top horn doggies must be knowing it already :hap2: but I think its great for n00bies like me. 
hyeah:
So lets start now. What I plan to tell u all here is how to use a Mobile phone as a Download rig. First of all u'll ask why use a phone when u can get proper download rigs and seedboxes, well here are my points in favor of it:
Lets start with the ingredients ;
As for the connection, I have BSNL's HOME 1350UL which provides steady 57-59KBps Download speed and upto 62KBps Upload speed.
For WiFi gateway I used my recently acquired UTStarcom WA3002G4 wireless gateway provided by BSNL.
For WiFi enabled phone, I used my year old trusty E51. Its the cheapest WiFi enabled phone out there. I still advise anybody wanting to try this to first get a Symbian60 OS based device like N95 etc.
Now first in order to be able to access the Internet on your WiFi phone first u'll need to change your modem's access method from Bridging to PPPoE inside the modem's firmware. A detailed how-to has already been posted by deathvirus_me, check it out here. :hap2:
Now on to the phone.
No need to tinker with IPv6 settings or the Proxy settings.
Now try to surf the web, it should work. After this either through phone itself or through PC, goto Sym Torrent's site. From Downloads select the SIS package and install it. If doing the process in the phone itself then no problem but from PC, u will have to use PC suite for installation. Now as this is a relatively old software so you'll have to manually change the phone's date to a year 2008 date to prevent Certificate Expiration conflicts.
After this the package is installed and you are ready to run it.
Now either from phone or a PC place a torrent file in a folder. Open SymTorrent, add that file from the folder and select the destination. Destination will be of course the memory card unless u have a phone with huge onboard memory like N95 8GB version. :clap: Now in the download will start showing the number of seeders and download speed. Just to check, I download some Shakira wallpapers and my download speed was 35-40KBps. :hap2: The completed downloads then can be accessed in memory card under a Bit Torrent folder.
SymTorrent works on port number 6881. I had no problem whatsoever whilst receiving Incoming connections but if some of you still want to or are having trouble with it, then can try port forwarding it from inside the modem's firmware.

hyeah: So lets start now. What I plan to tell u all here is how to use a Mobile phone as a Download rig. First of all u'll ask why use a phone when u can get proper download rigs and seedboxes, well here are my points in favor of it:
- Very Low power consumption, almost null
- No heating issue
- Highly portable
- Coolness Factor
- Maximized Resource Utilization
Lets start with the ingredients ;
- A Broadband Connection
- WiFi gateway or Switch
- WiFi enabled phone
As for the connection, I have BSNL's HOME 1350UL which provides steady 57-59KBps Download speed and upto 62KBps Upload speed.
For WiFi gateway I used my recently acquired UTStarcom WA3002G4 wireless gateway provided by BSNL.

Now on to the phone.
- Detect the WiFi network
- Define it by providing key etc.
- Now goto phone's Settings Menu.
- Settings>Connection>AccessPoints
- Scroll down to the WiFi access point and select it
- Goto Options>Advanced Settings
- First comes the IPv4 settings, same drill as configuring LAN
No need to tinker with IPv6 settings or the Proxy settings.
