You mean to say it's "Pretty useless idea for large files."Quote:

The only thing that intrigues me is how exactly you'd get torrents onto the DS. If you're dragging and dropping them in from a host computer, it would make more sense to just download the target file on the host in the fist place.
Wow, now I can watch my DS slow to a crawl too! Or soon I shall anyhow! :)
I was going to port a Bittorrent client to DSLinux but I couldn't find anything that didn't have huge dependancies.
When I read this I got interested in it because all the common torrent-clients are slow as hell on my 1ghz-pc(believe me I've chosen not to have a better one).. So I downloaded Arctic, which uses the libtorrent, and I've got to say it's pretty efficient compared to the others... Though this one doesn't have any options at all really.
Anyway, I still doubt the NDS would have enough power for it, but please prove me wrong(eventhough I'll never use it).
I would really like to see somthing like this on NDS. If might be true that it would be a waste of time for large files, but let's face it, DSOrganize isn't extreamly compatible with downloads and using somthing with specifications like torrents might really help people find good homebrew.
I believe Sonny_Jim actually did manage to port a command-line Bittorrent client to the DS. Check the DSLinux forums and see if you can find anything about it.
