Yesterday I was checking out Thoughts On S60, a blog by Howard Forums fame JonnyBruha. He reminded me of a great application I haven’t used in awhile called Symella. It’s a peer to peer application used to download files from others who are connected to the network, works similar to Limewire (minus the virus’s as Jonny mentions) or Soulseek if your familiar with those programs.

Symella runs surprisingly well on the N82, although it doesn’t render right when the phone is in landscape. Just make sure your holding the phone in portrait when using this application.

Here’s a description by the developer:

Symella is a basic Gnutella client for mobile devices based on the S60 platform. It is capable of searching and downloading, but do not upload any data in its current release. It supports multi-threaded downloads which means that if multiple users have a particular file then Symella can download the file from several locations simultenously.

I usually don’t support free music downloading but once in awhile theres just a track that you have to hear. This makes it easy on your N82. The speeds are decent even over edge. Yesterday I downloaded a 5mb track in about 8-9 minutes here in the States.
