Torrent client or filesharing apps for amiga

Philophus · 01 April 2010, 17:39

Anyone know of any filesharing apps for the amiga? I enjoy going online with the amiga and would like to be able to download stuff...and before the ethics discussions start there is legitimate stuff shared.

I've googled but to no avail.

For OS4 there is CTorrent. I assume you're searching for a 3.x app though?

Of course there are filesharing apps for Amiga! There is even one that has everything, all in one pack. It's called AmiGift, it's shareware and it's well worth paying the registration fee if you want torrent support enabled.

Download it here http://amigift.sourceforge.net/

It was indeed for os3.x.

Thanks Cammy...just what the doctor ordered!

Philophus · 01 April 2010, 18:32

What plugins would you reccomend Cammy?

hmm cant get it running, says cant open asyncio v40 even though i've copied it to libs and program directory.

did you got the correct library for sure?
i'd say it's this one: http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/asyncioppc
( asyncioppc/libs/asyncio.library ). Libs folder as destination should suffice.

I've no amiga setup here, so i cant test.

Yep..tried that one and the standard one too.....still says the same.

Try this one (OS 3.x), together with a GUI to use it:

Good luck!

oh, hmm, I'm clueless, sorry. meanwhile gulliver's advice sounds like a good option

Edit#1: you could try snoopdos while starting the program, maybe something different gives the trouble.

Too bad that CTorrent has problems with multiple trackers.
I was unable to download anything from TPB latelty.
I even compiled newest version 3.3.2 but same.

Maybe some additional options are needed ?
