where do i get the mobile version of these apps from

There aren't mobile versions of those specific apps but there are alternatives. Symtorrent will handle torrent files and Symella is a P2P client.
Both are open source.

Symella: http://www.aut.bme.hu/portal/symella.aspx?lang=en
Symtorrent: http://www.aut.bme.hu/portal/SymTorrent.aspx?lang=en

There may be other alternatives too but these both work fine for me

I have Symella installed and it works perfect. As for Symtorrent, I do have it installed but I need a browser that can download .torrent files (ie. Opera Mobile).

Unless you're using your phone at a workplace where you don't want to install torrent clients on resource dependant workstations, you're better off using your pc for torrent downloads. I mean don't get me wrong, it's awesome to say to your buddies, "yo, I'm d/l-in' (insert torrent file here) right to my phone!" but it really kills your battery (unless it's plugged in) and makes your phone heat up quite a bit!

Agreed, it would be silly downloading a movie onto your phone, but doesn't it feel good, telling your friends that your phone can do it and theirs can't 😉 On the other hand downloading 1 or 2 songs won't hurt.

Thanks for the offer dude, I'll keep that in mind :icon14:
