the android version is making it very interesting. There will be a new sharing community. It has nice device to device sharing function, that will make it more attractive.

Mp3 quality is ok for a mobile device..

frostwire also supports torrent downloads..

WOW now i found out that you can get bigger fonts.. cool :-)

this is the kind of apps we need for n900! sharing , sending uploading downloading chatting , device pairing ! awesome find!!!

hope to release a fine one for n900!!

try following:

Code:

 cd  /home/user/MyDocs/frostwire-4.21.2.noarch/

 java -jar FrostWire.jar

you also can make a shell srcipt with this two commands

for leafpad you could try

Code:

sudo leafpad

Code:

 sudo gainroot

leafpad

(with rootsh installed)

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

well congratulations on getting this to work, despite the overwhelming opinion that these should be rightfully left to die. perhaps frostwire is right for android, but not n900, all the same every new app is welcome!

for those asking about memory, the way p2p software like this, or torrents, downloads data in random order and writes to memory in pieces is bad for flash memory, if the n900 senses a corrupt block it will set that memory to read only and it will need formatted. so definately set all p2p programs to download to memory card rather than phone memory to save any major hassle when you encounter corruption. there is a program called flashlite which looks to adress the p2p flash corrupting problem, but i dont know if this would be compatible with frostwire on n900, i'll stick to torrents myself for now.

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

@festivalnut thanks finally someone has summed up the flash problem in plain english lol,
been readin up on ctorrent + flashlite an its all cli (which i cant get on with for apps like this) so really we should wait till some coder make a gui combing flashlite n torrents client an its available in the repo's, also how does it work on androids flash memory?
time to delete my java an frostwire folder etc

@lq_sunshine awesome work dude

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?
