iTransmission 2 Cydia Tweak Brings Back The Original iPhone BitTorrent Client To iOS 5.x Firmware

April 14, 2012 by 13 Comments

The bittorrent client for iOS is back from the dead and functional. Back in the day, if you wanted to download a torrent file on to your iOS device, you would use the jailbreak tweak iTransmission. But, as time passed, the developers stopped supporting the tweak and eventually it was no longer available for newer iOS devices and firmwares.

Download Torrents iOS

A jailbreak developer who goes by the name of iOShomebrew has restarted the iTransmission project and has made an alpha version available on the Cydia Store. iTransmission 2 is exactly the same as the first version and can be used to download torrents on to your iOS device. It works on iOS 5 and also on the latest iOS devices.

iTransmission 2 is still in alpha, so there may be certain bugs. This tweak is available for free in the BigBoss repo. Try it out and let us know if it worked for you.

    Itransmision 2 downloads files waaaay faster… When used with ifile works like a charm

    After using IT2 for about a week.. It downloads torrents way faster then IT1, my laptop, and my PC..It has now become my #1 BitTorrent client..It is missing a few features and has a few bugs…but I’m hoping with future updates those bugs with get squashed.

    Here’s how I use it:

    I use iTransmission 2to download my files and once they’re completed I use iFile to move them to my CineXplayer/MusicPlayer/etc

    If you want iTransmission 2 to download files in backround try the tweak called “backrounder” and you’ll be able to multitask without pausing your downloads.

    When installl is press, showing conflict with ipad, should i install t anyway? Please advise. What will happen if there is a conflict?

  • Osa

    if you’re an ios 5 user and want to use itransmission 1 instead do the following
    1 ) add xsellize source
    2 ) search for appsync 5
    3 ) make sure its 1.0.2
    4 ) install and enjoy your itransmission with very good quality even better than 2

    @guest you cydia tweak called backgrounder to keep any app you want active while you use other apps. If you want itransmission to download when your idevice is sleeping then use insomnia tweak called cydia

    Where does itransmission save to by default on the iPad? I’m trying to use iFile to transfer my downloads to their usable folders as you said but I can’t find the files… :(

  • TheDarkGuardian

    thx for the info. I have a question I chose the torrent and opened it through “Edownloader” and then i can manage the torrent through ” i transmission”. I wanted to ask which is better to use “i files ” or “E downloader” considering e downloader is free through installous.

    Thank you
