[Q] What the heck is a Torrent?

Can someone answer me what a Torrent is?

Google is your friend.
Torrents are used for peer to peer sharing online and combined with a program such as bittorrent or utorrent you can download torrent files. you can find basically any program, video, or music hosted on torrent sites. be safe with the downloads, look for good comments and more seeds than leachers.

So using Android, what do you recommend for a complete noob to this process? And who should I talk to about starting to figure this out?

I've never heard of torrents to download for your phone... what are you trying to do?
Torrents are more for things like computer programs, games, movies, and music.

Was checking out the Android Market, and there was a program called Transdroid that caught my attention. Figured I better find out just what it was before I started messing with it. Sounds like its something that ties my phone into my computer, so will probably avoid it for now.
Thanks for the information!

I use tTorrent lite.

You could likewise install orbot and run thru tor network (a bit technical - but the option is there).
I use this formthe occasional download from my pad...
Hope this helps.

Speedtest tethering location

When i am setup to do tethering from my phone i go to speedtest.com
it goes through the process and determines what server is closest to me. i live in medford OREGON. it shows me as being in KS.
how is that possible??

Try and change the server in the tools tab at the bottom (second from far left):

Edit: are you using the test via browser or the app from Google Play?

The server will change just fine if i do it., however i don't understand why it wants to pick the wrong location by it's self.
If i run speedtest from my phone it picks the correct location based on where i am.
If i tether and run it from my laptop it show me as being in KS.
Could that be happening because it's a hacked mod?

Could be, I've never used that mod, so I'm not entirely certain if it's what's causing the location errors.

Security scan software

Ok so recently I have noticed after installing an app from the market there is an item that says "Rom manager" (or what ever so I'm installing) detected scan using armor something, the only asp I've ever installed from a non market source is Google wallet from the thread here and I've had that for a while no problems. I don't know how it got installed on my phone, is there anyway I can find it and remove it.
By the way in on beans build 8 clean install.

Did you install any of these " clean pack, tech pack, script pack, pen pack, and/or gothic pack." by flipfont?
Looks like it's an airpush type add. Download AirPush Detector and see.

I did download a font pack I'll try that thanks.

Sprint app removal

Okay, so I installed the Sprint Zone app because I actually use it and find it functional. However, with the latest update it also installed sprint fun & games. Something I don't want. I searched for the file using root explored and also checked the system app file and data app file. I can't find it anywhere to rename it bak. Anyone have any luck finding it?

After I saw this thread yesterday I looked around for it too. Seems they are linked somehow, but this is what I saw under app info, at the very bottom.

Both are the same app you need to uninstall the update

I went a head and uninstalled the update. After I did that the app forced closed and wouldnt function properly. The only way to get it to work as before was to update it. I went through the app file and found the fun and games and seen the launch was set to 1. I wonder if changing that to 0 would mess with the Sprint Zone app? Now I just need to find an editor.
