Scan product UPCs, search for torrent trackers, and remotely download them on the go using uTorrent or Vuze.

For gPhone users BarTor is a new Android app that lets you browse your local DVD retailer, scan the bar codes  of a desired flic,  and then remotely download onto your PC.

  • KTorrent – PHP and HTML Interfaces
  • Sort By Publish Date or By Seeds and Leechers (Default)
  • Purchase opportunities upon Barcode Lookup – Long Click result to open Browser.
  • Choose maximum number of Torrent Search results (25 [Default], 50, 100, 250)
  • Google Base product lookup
  • Ability to omit results originating from certain torrent sites.
  • Multiple “Client Sites” or uTorrent WebUI configurations.
  • Download history
  • Search history

The program costs $2.99 and can be found in the Market under applications.

    This is an awesome application that would have never been developed on another network. Already Android is showing its strength as a cell phone platform.

    And how is this different from that firefox plugin that linked Amazon to Piratebay?

    @Signa

    The difference is you’re in a brick & mortar store instead of browsing an online store and that’s pretty much it. Just like the firefox plugin is great for people who browse Amazon and want to preview stuff before they buy this app is great for people who are mall rats or like to window shop at electronic stores like BestBuy.

    yea, wish they had this for the iphone.

    Wow, very cool to bad i still have old ghetto phone technology

    Oh I totally get the “difference,” but that Amazon plug-in had such an uproar on how unethical it was to use. I don’t see this being any different, yet I’m yet to hear a word on it being bad.

    just wait until truly catches on and it becomes part of the average crowd. Has so much potential.
