I'm looking for an open source iOS torrent client that can open Magnet links and download torrents on the device itself.

Note: Just "monitors" for computer-based torrent software aren't what I'm looking for.

  • How do you want to export it from the device when you're done downloading the torrent?

  • @Undo no export required, just to open it in another app directly (a video player which I already have installed).

  • I'm intentionally leaving this question very broad as there aren't many solutions anyway, I found none at least.

Have a look at https://github.com/ioshomebrew/iTransmission-4. I'm not sure about magnet links, but it's a full torrent client which stores the files on the device itself. I will never find it's way into the appstore, but if you compile it for yourself (which I guess is what you want to do) with Xcode, it should do what you need.

  • Not only does this state it will never be accepted in the AppStore, you seem to need to compile it with an SDK + Cydia, so we've ruled out most iOS users (I assume) and made it complex. I wouldn't suggest this as an "answer" unless the OP was already Jailbroken and ready to compile.
