Modern smartphones are like the computers end of the 90's.

We've run back than Napster and later eDonkey on those boxes just fine…

Yes, but you were downloading a movie and then you'd delete it to make room for something else on your 40GB HDD. In this case it would be like you'd try to download the whole internet because you're interested in one movie.

It's possible to download parts of torrents though.
