Installing JamSeeder on Linux

Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.

Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages aliveā€”and it's interesting to see how I've changed.

Problem
  • the project page on SourceForge.
  • Install the RPM. On Debian-type systems (like Ubuntu), use sudo alien --to-deb --install jamseeder-0.9.1-2mdv.noarch.rpm
  • Every time you change the settings, you will need to close and re-open the program.
Resources
  1. Download the tool from JamSeeder-gui.py
  2. Run the program using python /usr/share/jamseeder/jamseeder application page is hidden and there is little to no documentation on installation or usage.
Resources
Since JamSeeder uses the official BitTorrent client, which does not support encryption, users behind traffic-shapers or external firewalls will not be able to seed album torrents. Unfortunately, the info page on Jamendo -- currently consists of screenshots and a link to the download page
