How would this allow you to torrent on iOS without jailbreaking the device?

My phone, though an iPhone 6, seems to shut down Safari if I've been using other apps long enough. I can't imagine it staying alive long enough to torrent anything large.

Just have an iframe on the web torrent client page so you can reddit to pass the time!
Didn't test it, but I'd guess that playing some media (audio, preferably) should keep Safari alive.
Keep Safari active. You can use other apps in split screen while the file downloads.
No split screen on the phones (unless perhaps the plus size allows it, but I don't think so).
