Many iPad owners who are also torrent users often wonder if they could combine these two pleasures. That is, they know that they can, but can they do it without jailbreaking their devices? Well, the answer is yes, and today we are going to show you how to do it.

It is a well-known fact that you can use iOS devices for downloading torrents. Not only is it possible, but it is actually very easy. Most of the time, doing so requires a jailbroken device. You can then easily install Torrent Downloader App, and be on your merry way.

However, the idea is to see how to download torrents on an iOS device without a jailbreak.

Why should you use torrents on your iPad?

First of all, let’s talk about why would you want to use torrents? Contrary to the popular opinion, they are not only used for piracy. Torrents and torrenting are a way of sharing files between devices. They are still in use today because they are reliable, competent, and don’t require high speed.

The last part is especially important for many users since high internet speed is still not that widespread today. Besides, if you use torrenting in combination with the right port, your download speed might go sky high.

Your connection speed won’t limit it, and you should exploit this information as much as you can.

iOS users have it a bit more difficult than Android users. This is because of the fact that Google Play Store is full of torrenting apps that don’t require a jailbreak. On the other hand, the Apple App Store has not a single one such app.

This is all because of Apple’s copyright policy, and they don’t really like torrenting that much. That is why you will simply have to turn to a different source. Get one of these torrenting apps from the Cydia store. That is if you are OK with the whole jailbreaking story. If not, then you will need the following guide.

One thing to note is that you should pair your iPad torrenting with a VPN like TorGuard (TorGuard Review) unless you want copyright trolls breathing down your neck and threatening to sue you.
