uTorrent has been released for Android (beta). Unfortunately, at least for me, ANY torrent app completely lags the tablet to the point where I consider it unusable. I don't have an sd card. Has anyone tried any torrent app and downloaded files on to an external sd card? I want to know if it lags like that as well?

i use Adownloader, and it is capable of downloading to the memory card. While downloading 4 files at one time, i was able to do other things on the tablet without issues.
try ttorrent. Also, when you want to search within the app you will need to dl a plugin, but I've never had problems. It doesn't do a great job of correcting spelling, etc. but more or less solid all around.

What speeds were you getting? My tablet was already unusable when I was downloading at my max speed (6mbit/s). However, when I'm transfering files between my laptop and my tablet (at 20mbit/s) the tablet is not unusable, but not fast either... Is this all because of the IO issues?
Yep, just got the same problem with torrent and internal storage, it's the same with ttorrent btw.

You should try using aTorrent - i have downloaded stuff onto the tablet without any problems + it's free.
My formula: aTorrent + isohunt.com = works
I haven't downloaded several files at the same time but it worked fine with one file downloading + using a couple of other apps.
I've used every torrent app out there, and they all lag my device when I'm downloading.... Are you downloading to an external sd card?

I've used tTorrent to save to a microSD card and it worked great for me

I'm using ttorrent to microSD card and it works great. Before I was using the internal storage but it was making the tablet unusable. I bought the microSD card just for that.

Alright I am convinced to buy a microSD card just for this reason. Kind of stupid I have to do this, the IO problems really shouldn't be there, but alas. Thanks... Now if only someone could tell me if my Samsung Captivate supported 64gb cards...

The new version of atorrent allows downloading to the card. And I did not experience any lag.

Every torrent application will lag your phone/table it you're downloading to your primary SD Card. This is becase Androids needs to preallocate the full size of the downloaded files. So when Android zero filles 2Gb of files, then the read/write speed for other applications on the internal storage will drop, thus you'll get a lot of lag. Once the preallocation is over the phone comes back to live again (that is if you're not downloading with +10Mb/s speed of more).
Only way to avoid the lag is to have an external SD Card and download to it. BTW you can try my new torrent application TDM. Maybe it'll suit your needs better? (it has no problems with downloading to extarnal cards and it has a file manager to allowes you to manage the file on multiple cards with ease).

Why is it so slow to transfer files to Transformer? It takes a minute to transfer a 700mb video file. Is it like that in your device too?
Depending how you are sending them, you have the limitation of either wifi or USB 2.0 unless you have USB 3.0 ports on your machine
A minute is fine for 700mb

Yes, a minute is good enough... Try sending a 700MB file over LAN. It'll take a lot longer than a minute to complete.
I connected it to the usb 3.0 port in my computer and the transfer speed is still the same. I'm not complaining or anything. I'm just curious why the transfer speed in my phone is so much faster than the transformer.

Are you tranferring direcly to the Transformers internal SD or to a removable SD? If removable then it is the class of your SD card.

very slow with me also. 400mb took 30 minutes!!!
No drivers;. Just plug in => explorer => drag (internal storage)

How the hell does the tablet use a little less than 6 GB?...
Are there certain files I can delete, like language files, ect.
If you're rooted you might try the sd maid app.

Well I thought it was time to check out the Asus Web storage app that came bundled with the tab. Opened up the html file that supposedly is going to tell me how to auto backup to Web storage.

I often works shiity speeds and get that FAIL to CONNECT msg when am in ASIA !! but works nicely when am in EST USA
Also their 'cloud" seems to be much fater than most I tried , even DROPBOX gets to be a DRAG @ times , and that FRUIT COMPANY 's one ...... is so so @best
Hope this is of some help

The file I tried to open is actually stored locally.
Google drive is the best. The desktop client of Asus webstoeage always crashes on me.

They need to change that "Fail!" to something better... even the "Sorry, try again later" I hate so much. At least its not a simple "fail".
Just use Dropbox.
Hi
just got the TF300T and did the Jelly Bean update and the WIFI speed is really bad. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? It am trying to transfer a 4Gb video file and it is taking like 2+ hrs to transfer it
My wifi appears similar in performance to ics. Have you run any apps like speedtest both before and after JB?
Still Charged Up
Thanks
I ran Speed Test and everything seems good and when transfering smaller files (mp3, jpegs) they transfer in a decent amount of time. it appears that the issue is with larger file sizes they take forever...4Gb mp4 file took 3hrs to transfer with with Tablet sitting right next to my wifi router
It is not a problem with wifi speeds, it is a problem of i/o the transformer series suffer from bad writing and reading speeds of the internal drive. JB made it a bit faster than ics but its still lagging behind other devices.

I am curious if there is a way to move installed apps the the external storage? Thanks

Haven't tried but I believe there is an option in titanium backup to move to external... give that a shot

may i ask why you want to do this? it usually causes more harm than good on the newer devices with HUGE internal memories. it was useful back in teh day of the OG droid with 512MB of internal storage but with the TF300T you have TONS of space.
unless you are doing it for a specific reason other than to save internal storage space, i wouldn't do it.
U can use ZDbox from the market. Has the option to move apps to storage.

For me, the only thing that seems to work is GL to SD. Other applications seem to not recognize the external storage like App to SD. Also to answer the question as to Why we want to do this? I have the 16GB version and still ran out of storage, heavy gaming especially from gameloft applications can take a heavy burden on storage.
