Theoretically, how does one get torrents on to an Ipad? If it's a movie, download the goodplayer app and you can transfer almost any video file into the app via iTunes. IMHO the best way I've found to get torrents on an iPad is to update and install the latest apple firmware, jailbreak the iPad using Pangu jailbreak tool. At Cydia Geeks, we are all about the latest Jailbreak, iPhone, iOS tutorials, and Cydia tweaks. For jailbroken iPhone or iPad, all you have to do is go to Cydia > Search and type in the name of this torrent client. It’s a torrent client for iOS device that allows you to download torrent files of onto your iPhone and iPad.

With torrent, you can gain easier and quicker access to the amazing movies and music. While iPad Mini meets every requirement you could ask for a portable media player with its cutting edge initiatives. Here are the tips to play Torrent movies on iPad Mini.
Play Torrent Movies on iPad Mini with Torrent Player App
Torrent Player for jailbroken iPad Minis and iPads is a must-have app for any regular BitTorrent user looking to watch content on their mobile iOS device. The free torrent video player allows you to watch videos without having to wait until they’re finished downloading!
Apple has approved several BitTorrent apps for its app store, Conttrol being among them, but none allow for direct downloads to your iPhone or iPad. They are merely remote clients for controlling desktop BitTorrent applications.
Torrent Player is different because it allows you to download video content directly to your mobile device. Apple would never approve this app because of obvious copyright infringement concerns, and so that’s why it’s only available in the Cydia app store (only available on jailbroken devices)
Download Torrent
Using Torrent Player is fairly straightforward. You have have several trackers to choose from – The Pirate Bay, Clearbits.net, Google, and Demonoid – but sadly Demonoid was shutdown by Ukrainian authorities early last month. Just search for what you want and tap on the tracker link. Torrent Player does the rest.
