I have never used GPRS yet. I dont know if you would be facing port problems with your connection settings. To know if you are facing port problems , press Ctrl+G. Select "Test if port is forwarded properly". This will open default browser and if you get a webpage with a greek OK your settings are fine. If not you need to do portforwarding.

I tested the port.Web page shows Error that --"Port ***** does not appear to be open."
& i don't know how to do port forwarding..
Is my frnd needed to install utorrent.. or anything else.I think ares installed in his PC will do the job..
another thing, is the file transferring speed is satisfactory.?
He has to download the file i sent to him..than wht he need to do?

I'd prefer ftp, as I somehow find torrents too slow on my net.
But, I believe torrents is a better way when both the parties have high speed connections.
Also, size of the file matters, torrents are better suited for bigger files.
I would personally prefer running a web server over either 2. But, as batty said post is the fastest and the cheapest way.
