Torrent on computer without an intel processor?

[The Douche]

Anybody know of any torrent programs that will work on a computer that doesn't have an intel processor?

Are you talking about x86/64 compatible AMD chips or something more exotic, like Sun SPARCs?

vuze/azureus is written in java and should work on any architecture that is supported by java. http://www.vuze.com/

transmission is what ubuntu uses as default these days, and ubuntu still supports PowerPC and (unofficially) SPARC. I think it's a safe bet that it'll build on other architectures as well. It also has a native OSX look&feel. http://www.transmissionbt.com/

If you're on a *nix (linux, bsd, osx) and aren't afraid of the command line, rtorrent is a lightweight alternative. http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

Vuze didn't work for me, I'm not positive of why no torrent programs are working, but I think its cause this computer doesn't run intel. Its a mac from like 05.

Just tried transmission "not supported on this architecture".

can you please name your processor?

[The Douche]

PowerPC G4. With the latest java updates carried out.

[khad]

Aah, you need a client that's ppc compatible

The next question is do you have system 9 or OS X as your OS?

[The Douche]

OS X, the newest version, I downloaded all the system updates available.

Take a look a the previous releases section of Transmission. Make sure you download the PPC (PowerPC) version.
