I got running the frostwire p2p (open source version of limewire) Software on the n900.It is working fine.

You need to install the java jre for arm.
I found it here:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|273...1.tar.gz|34124
( with root privileges)

you extract the archive to /opt (you also can do it with filebox filemanager,with root mode activated in settings )

Code:

tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/ejre-1_6_0_21.tar.gz -C /opt/

and then link it with :

Code:

ln -s /opt/ejre1.6.0_21/bin/* /usr/bin/

and then

Code:

 chmod 777 /usr/bin/java

now you can download the frostwire tarball
from http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads end extract it to a folder like /home/user/Mydocs/

Code:

tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch.tar.gz  -C  /home/user/Mydocs/

you can launch it with

Code:

java -jar  /home/user/Mydocs/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch/FrostWire.jar

(note thate your Frostwire folder or archive name may be a different one, replace X.XX.X with current frostwire version number)

enjoy it :-) ... but you need good eyes

update : you can get bigger fonts ..just change view settings

hi, i have been searchin for XXwire for ages, do you know if XXwire kills memory like transmission does i.e. makin everything read only

lq_sunshine | # 7 | 2011-01-16, 22:56 | Report

Oh o dont know, if it kills memory.
I think it is better to set the folders to the memorycard.. it is saver

and i will not run it for hours..
