Hi,
Is there a BitTorrent client that is part of Yoper? If not can somebody suggest one to use that could be Apt-getted? Thanks,

Joel

Don't think so.
You can install Azureus easily - it's a java app so and doesn't exist in apt-get repository. It doesn't need to be installed either. Just download, unzip and run.
Looks great, and has lots of options.

If you need something that can support many P2P protocols, try mldonkey. It runs edonkey, kazaa, gnutella, bittorrent and others. And you can configure it to be accessible via telnet, http or a regular gui (java or gtk).

Good luck.

michux,
Thanks for the advise, I will try Azureus out and see how that works. Is Java already running in Yoper or would that need to be installed as well.

It is installed by default in Yoper 2.1.0-4.

I think Java still has to be installed in yoper. When I tried to intall java from java.com I had alot of problems. But it is possible. Try running Azureus to see. I'm not sure if you can get java through apt-get or not.

Azureus worked fine without installing any additional Java support, thanks again.
