Is there a bit torrent client for the n800?
 

Is ther something other than ctorrent? A decent bit torrent client on a wicked little handheld like the n800 would be a killer app for me. I cant see why there isn't one.

Thanks.

Because it doesn't really have the horsepower or memory.

I guess I just over estamate this little gizmo...

And I didn'd realize it took a lot of power to download a torrent. But then again, what I dont know could fill an internet.

Thanks.

Sure it does. I had a functional torrent app on my WM5 Axim device with less memory.

Right now it is pretty trivial to port ncurses/command line type apps, so you see a lot of direct ports of stuff like ctorrent. It takes considerably more effort to port anything with a gui, as it generally needs to be "hildonized"/addapted to the N800's non standard UI. As to the memory/horse power issue, I have run Torrent clients on far less capable devices. There are even some wireless routers that come with Torrent clients built in (usually the ones that have a USB port for NAS type applications as well).

Right now, it is all about convincing developers that they should spend some of their free time on porting x, y and z to the N800. A lot of developers seem to like to spend their spare coding time playing around with fun stuff like porting an emulator or writing a music player, but nobody ever seems to want to develop a word processor. So, multiple years after the introduction of Maemo, we have Quake 2, Mame, NES and FreeCiv, but we still don't have a decent word processor...

expecting my n800 tuesday morning (unless they make me wait for my birthday :eek: ) but I found that jasspa microemacs http://www.jasspa.com/ compiled and ran straight off in both scratchbox x86 and arm (sorry couldn't resist.... :D :D :D )

when I say word processor, I mean something like Abiword, not Joe, Nano, Emacs, etc.

Out of curiosity where can one download a freeciv port.

I am not positive, but I believe this is the most up to date copy of FreeCiv for the 770/n800.
