Finally I could build Toram for AmigaOS using  a cross compiler.The GUI is fully functional but the timer does not work.

So, now the first thing is to make the timer work properly and after that to test the whole application.

I received my copy of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for classic Amiga  a couple of weeks ago. I was busy installing it on FS-UAE on my openSuse Linux but finally I achieved to have it even with Internet connectivity

These days I'm trying to build a cross compiler for AmigaOS 4.x in my Linux machine. It's being a little hard despite the help available in some posts. I've been able to compile some MUI examples so I'm quite positive about porting Toram to Amigaos. What I need to do now is to include some other components in the SDK such as sigc++ or super easy JSON in order to compile the application.

Today the first public version of Toram has been released. Toram is a remote control of a Transmision client which runs on a PC. Toram does not provide the Transmission daemon required to download torrent files on the local computer, in this case a Morphos or Aros machine.

Version 0.4 features are:

• Add torrent from its URL
• Remove torrent
• Stop and start torrents
• Retrieve some information and properties of torrrents.
• Graphic user interface showing torrents list, download progress and some basic information

Toram 0.4.2 release fixes some bugs detected in 0.4.1 mainly for MorphOS:

• Bad layout in about and properties windows (oly in MorphOS)
• About window crashed the application if opened twice (AROS)
• Other small bug fixes

There are no new features, as the aim is to stabilize the application. This will apply to any future 0.4.x version.

Downloads:

• Toram for AROS
• Toram for Morphos

Toram 0.5.0 has been released. The main new feature is to open .torrent files. A new button is available at the top bar which  opens a file requester. In addition you can specify the file as a parameter if you start the program from cli and even double click a torren file (if you have assign the file type to the application)

Version 0.5.0

• Now it is possible to start the application with a torrent file paremter from cli or WB
• Better menu and button management if there is no item selected
• Reconnect: The remote daemon is detectted after being lost
• More bug fixes

Toram 0.6.0 has been released.

Changes:

• New storage system for configuration data
• After launched the application tries to restore the last connection. 
• Upload and download speed limit is settable using a menu from the main window
• New context menu for torrent items in the main list

Toram 0.8.0 has been released today.

The first new feature provides user authentication whenever the server is configured in such way. To use that, you can introduce your username and password in the connection window.

Secondly, the properties window includes much more information now. Even more, this window has been redesigned in order to show all the meta data clearly.

Changes:

• Added user authentication to the connection window
• Properties window changed: more information provided and better layout

 You can download Toram 0.8.0 from Aminet

Sometimes debugging is hard. I say that because creating an AmigaOS version of Toram is taking more time than expected but finally it seems it is near to see the light.

I was stumbled by a strange crash the application suffered that closed even the emulator... until I thought that it could be a problem in the emulator itself. As I was using FS-UAE under Linux I switched to WinUAE and everything went right and stable. Anyway I can't be sure until receive some feedback. It will be especially appreciated to have some info from real Amiga NG hardware users.

You can find here the first version of Toram for AmigaOS4 so feedback will be welcome.
