Are you daft? Transmission works on the eMMC just fine. The I/O hammering will make your device almost completely useless during usage - however it works without "flashlite technology".

transmission worked for me but i removed it after it made my home read-only, something to do with downloaded large-ish files,
is flashlite in the repos yet?

i'm not daft! it doesn't work it makes the device read-only too! also you don't know what flashlite is all about!

ctorrent with flashlite looks like a viable solution but would anyone take it upon themselves to make a gui for it and automate the rearrange and rm of the .fl file.

ctorrent + flashlite seem like to much hard work, for now i will stick to transmission on laptop

transmission DOES work, saying it doesn't is simply wrong however you try to justify i!
the program itself won't make your memory unreadable, the nature of how p2p programs download and write data to flash memory will eventually corrupt a block, and then the n900 will assign it as read only when it detects corruption, this is why you should always set a p2p client on a flash memory system to save to removable rather than main memory. flashlite does look like a good viable solution, however claiming it is necessary is wrong. it will work without, on an sd card or n900's main memory if you so choose.

it's maybe working on ext3 eMMc but it doesn't it work on vfat eMMc. Maybe it works on vfat micro-sd card that i don't know. maybe it works if u dl 1 torrent with 100 mb and reduce client to 10. that i didn't tried. but ctorrent+flashlite works out-of-the box on vfat eMMc. Could u explain to me what is ur problem with me when I say ctorrent + flashlite works? Also did u test rtorrent and qtrapids? they don't work either although they claims to be really fast!

Transmission doesn't work for me ever since I upgraded to PR 1.3.
It simply doesn't start downloading when I tell it to.

no not "maybe if..." it does work, i use it, i have not reformatted my emmc or sd card and i can download to either. with multiple torrents and 20/40 peers as standard when i installed this version. i have no agenda or reason to push transmission other than statement of fact and experience.

i have no problem at all with u saying ctorrent and flashlite works, i'm glad it does, what i do have a problem with is you coming on and telling people transmission doesn't work with an air of authority, when it clearly does. at best you are misinformed and at worst just plain lying. it is counter productive and not helpful at all. if you want people to use flashlite, recommend it based on its strengths, dont tell them other things dont work when they do.

i dl a lot. did u trid big files? and also ur device is completly unsuable, isn't it? if that is what u calling is working then i have a problem. also why don't u make a nice video with transmission and 2 dl on vfat eMMc and put it on youtube so everybody can see that it is working?
