@morcar

Yep, Amiga has a BitTorrent client if I am not mistaken.....but dont know the name, but here are some applications you NEED.

AmigAIM (Amiga AOL/AIM Instant messenger, but its a hack)
AmIRC (Internet Relay Chat like mIRC but wayyyy better)
Wookiechat (IRC, new but good)
BitlBee (lets you use MSN, Yahoo, AIM with AmIRC and Wookiechat?)
AmiDiction (Internet dictionary)
AmiTradeCenter (LimeWire/Kazaa type program for downloads)
YAM (Outlook Express type email client)
SimpleMail (Outlook Express type email client)


there are many many more apps if you ask around.

thanks for all of that i will look about.

I have setup WinUAE with OS 3.9 and fair play i like it a lot. I have missed the amiga since selling them last year but i was never really into what was coming out. Now I have changed my mind about my PC and only after i upgraded it to an Intel Quad Core E6600 and a geforce 8800gts (trust me to do that).

Thing is now I have lost interest in the new games as i am finding them to be very shallow and the same thing over and over and over again.

The Amiga on the other hand although has old games and some old apps (although from what i have seen there's some good apps only just out) i still like for ease of use.

I told the wife today i am going to mess about with my Amiga 600 once i get it for 6 months trying to do what i normaly do on a PC and if i find i can do it even though the speed is a little slower she will have my new pc i will take her pc and sell it off and use the money to do up a 1200 in a tower.

Looks like i am going all out on amiga again.

When I open "Agents list" I don't get the "msn transport" option. Only 3 options when I open "Agents list".. Anyone who have a solution for this? :-)

 Download AmiMSN from the given link and read the docs. The author teach how to connect to MSN network. The explanation can be used to the other MSN client.

Hi
I hope that i'm not a pain in the ass.. But.. The given link is what?

I found AmiMSN on Aminet.net. I edit the AmiMSN.cfg, but get this error:

"Unable to obtain ticket from loginnet.passport.com"

WTF?? Yes, I read the documents, but I don't find the solution there.  :-?  :rtfm:  :cry:
