1). are there any decent programs for similar to kazaa or napster for MorphOS?
2). when is the mac port of MorphOS suposted ot be released and will it be maintaind or just a one time thing?

Next year it seems, since they planned to release such a trojan horse game in october 2004. But please don't forget that they don't seem to plan to release it stand-alone as an OS for the Mac - but just as a vehicle for the actual content they want to sell to the Mac-users, like games, etc.

The old Amiga AmSter may work. I haven't tried Amster in years.

Also, Kazaa is a foolish thing to use. SPYware supreme. I suppose I could write some nice spyware to sit on top of AmIRC to automatically dcc things everywhere, but I really don't see why someone would want all of those extra popups...

Amster should still work ( there arte some free napster ports around
). There is a new MOS Port for AMSTER: http://www.vindvejr.dk/~jlaur/amiga/amster/main.html


I would be glad if we have something like emule / edonkey ... but IRC
is also popular for filesharing.

cu AC-Eule

why don't we just port emule? i would be willing to help. I am not great but i could contribute. (i am more of a linux person but i am learing about morphos)

Maybe we should just support als activities from people who are trying to port filesharing software for the Amiga/PegasOS:

Here is a link to somebody who is developing a emule client for the amiga ....

as more people ancourage him, im am shure it will make hime invest more time in the emule projekt

What is emule?

emule is a file sharing client that runs off the edonkey2000 server.....personaly i think Xmule is better..... http://www.xmule.org/

Thanks for the info PoundSmak. Also, I've learned that on the PC there is a "Kazaa Lite" which doesn't have all the spyware stuff in it.

your welcome i will answer any questions you have about file sharing aplications.....i am going ot try and port xmule though i am not sure i can.. anyways kazaa lite um how do i put this nicely....SUX........i mean it has tons of search results because people use it but making a version of kazaa (witch uses the fast track network) for morphos would be hard there is little nto no documentation on it and no source code i can find anywhere. well thought i would let you know.

It'll be a little while before I can use a filesharing program. I ended up scarfing my 6G drive out of my A1200 for the Pegasos Not much room left from..... Well.... MAME stuff
