So I'm not sure if this has every been mentioned before, but I'm only now starting to see the benefit of goodreader. It can download files that the ipad can't normally download, and then it can send them to something like dropbox.

Theoretically (and purely theoretically) one could set up their downloads remotely by downloading a torrent file on their iPad using goodreader and uploading it to a folder in their dropbox that they have their home bit torrent client monitoring. If one were so bold of course.

One really cool "hack" that I heard on Macbreak weekly this week was that if you have goodreader installed and you come across a url file in safari (such as a .pdf or a .torrent) you can just add a 'g' in front of the address (ex. ghttp://calgarypuck.com/flames.pdf) it will automatically download in goodreader without you having to leave safari manually. Pretty cool.
