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

Code:
tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/ejre-1_6_0_21.tar.gz /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   /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 :-)
For ease of use, make an alias for the last line of code. No need to constantly reenter all of that when you want to run the program.

Sorry i forgot the option -C

Code:
tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/ejre-1_6_0_21.tar.gz -C /opt/
If there still is a problem you can use filebox filemanager to extract the archives. (you have to enable the root option insettings)

Hi,
it should be possible to make a launch icon for the comand line like the way
mentioned in this thread

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...hortcut+comand

it would be more comfortable

It's for 13 year olds and people who don't care about music quality.
I thought all these P2P clients died in the early 2000's. Can't believe these things are still going.

things seem to change:

http://www.google.de/trends?q=frostwire

the android version is making it very interesting. There will be a new sharing community. It has nice device to device sharing function, that will make it more attractive.

Mp3 quality is ok for a mobile device..

frostwire also supports torrent downloads..



WOW now i found out that you can get bigger fonts.. cool :-)
