I like to surf the web on my shiney new n95 but have one problem which I am hoping someone can advise on....

I like to download stuff from torrent sites (wallpaper packs, game demos and the odd pdf file - ALL LEGAL I MUST POINT OUT, AS ITS ON MY WORKS' WiFi CONNECTION !!!!) but when i try to download the "torrent file" i get an error message from the nokia browser saying "not supported". Now, i'm not trying to download the actual files (for example the wallpaper pack), just the torrent file that starts the download. Then i wanted to email/ transfer this to my pc at home to start the download on my own pc (again, wouldnt do it on a work pc as i'm sure they wouldnt like it even if it is legal stuff i wanted to download!).

Does anyone know how to get round this? I thought maybe the opera-mini web browser may support this, but again, it doesnt work...

any ideas would be appreciated?!?!?!?

this is a little annoying, it wont let you download anything that is not supported by the phone, in other words if the file system doesn't recognise the file extention. I have, however noticed this with early firmwares of nokia phones before, and then after an upgrade you get the option to at least save the item, so lets hope this happens with the 95
