For example, no.

...for example.

You can't do it. There are no apps that support downloading torrent files and Apple won't approve one.

 

[mudslag]

Apple won't approve one.

That last part is kind of moot considering cydia is around

 

[hed1117]

so jailbreak and cydia...

I *think* the OP's asking if there's a torrent client app (i.e. Azureus, uTorrent) for the iPad. Jailbreak required there!

Torrenting to iPad is Easy

You know I have seen this answered incorrectly twice in 2 days.
If the question is can you download torrents easily to an iPad the answer is YES. dTunes has been around I think since 2008 but is only available via Cydia.
I use it every day on the iPad. So it is only available on a jailborken iPad though.

That and tethering from my iPhone to my iPad are 2 big reasons to jailbreak.
I have to say I prefer to torrent to my PC to a directory that is then listed on my Air Video Server then streamed to my iPad wirelessly. But when away from mi casa dTunes is fine.
