ok so finally learning my way around.  or so i thought.
running DSL 2.4 on an old toshiba Satellite 466
wanted to setup peer to peer.  the Limewire extension in the DSL panel gives me a checksum error evertime i try to download it.(and yes i downloaded Java jre 1_5_0) still get the error.  so then i tried my luck with Frostwire which might work but there is no readme so i have no clue where to begin for install process.  anyone else out there have any luck getting either of these or somthing similar to work?

Manually download it with
wget -c <insert_url_here>
keep doing this until your download is finished.

This is probably due to your isp/net hw breaking the connection when the transfer is not complete.  Some also use ftp mirrors which may work better on some setups.

This is what i did, so if I'm not doing it the right way...i'm new..but this worked for me

1)download the tar.gz file from frostwire.com

2) Open EmelFM and open the directory where you downloaded the tarball to in the left window, in the right window make a new directory under /home/dsl and name it frostwire. (alternatively you could use the mkdir command in the CLI, but i'm still fairly new and am slowly weaning myself off windows). select your new directory in the right window

3) in the left window right click on the tarball and select Actions-unpack in other panel. This should unpack it to the new directory.

4) in the directory you just extracted to, there should be a file called "runfrostwire.sh" right click on that and select "execute".

5) I assume you know that you'll need the JRE package before either limewire or frostwire will run
