DS development > torrent on ds???

#168586 - tskaahyeah - Fri May 08, 2009 4:37 am

is there an existing torrent download program in ds?

I don't think so, but most people feel it would be a complete waste of time. Considering the DS wifi speed + the fact that you need to be in a wifi hotspot + have this program running instead of playing whatever game you prefer... it would take a hell of a long time to get anything, you're a million times better off running a torrent client on your pc (and of course only downloading perfectly legal content).

Run an SSH client, then run a console-mode torrent program on your PC.

I've ported ctorrent to DSLinux. although it's not very stable it does work:

Some torrent donwload programs have an additional browser-based front end option to control it. So, all you really need is a browser on the NDS and the torrent program running on a PC.
