Many have tried but all have failed to get an app approved that works with BitTorrent.

All have failed, that is, until now.
IS Drive by Derek Kepner likely made it through the screening process because it didn’t use the no-no word: “Torrent”. Instead, its description on the AppStore page is very innocent:

This app allows you to check and manage the downloads in your ImageShack Drive account. For downloaded videos, you can even view thumbnails (if ImageShack is able to provide them).

Reading between the lines, the idea is that it has capabilities that some people may use for illegal purposes, but that’s not the intent. In an interview with TorrentFreak, Kepner said, “I’m on dangerous ground here, and I know that.”

Apple removed this app from App Store, so now you need Jailbreaked device to use it - http://apptrackr.org/?act=viewapp&appid=394341587
