Clearly this is an app for those of you who have Jailbroken your iPhone, but the great news is, now you can torrent directly from your iPhone (probably best to do that in a wifi zone!) and then play the downloaded files direct in the dTunes player.
Well worth checking out if you love TV shows and movies and download using torrent software usually on your Mac or PC.
Using dTunes is very simple, just search for the song or artist you wish to listen to and select the option you wish to download or stream to your iPhone. All your downloaded items are saved directly to your iPhone and displayed in the home screen.
One drawback that we have noticed is the inability to load music directly to the dTunes library. Files are stored in the /var/mobile/Library/Downloads folder. After downloading or streaming media to your iPhone you can play it via the media player within dTunes. One feature that we love about dTunes is the ability to play music in the background while doing other things such as reading email. The default music download site is Seeqpod.com, and for video it is tinytube.net.
Torrents are downloaded through a sign up service called iTorrentReplay. dTunes also gives you the option to dim the screen while playing music with the press of a button, no more waiting for the screen to time out to save power. dTunes is currently ad funded, the ads however do not seem to get in the way.

hey, i was wondering if there was any way to put the downloaded files on the computer?
I have air sharing and discover.. is there any way to move the files that i download from the torrents to the place where my air sharing files are?
or is there another way to do it?
Thank you!
You need to SSH into your phone, there are plenty of how-tos all over google, just search “SSH iPhone” Then you have full access to your internal structure of your iPhone. Like stated above the directory where the files are stored is /var/mobile/Library/Downloads
Thanks… Been sifting through my iPhone backing stuff for over an hour.. And took a google search to find the right downloads directory…
