Update: OneSwarm 0.6.7 is now available and fixes most Snow Leopard compatibility issues. Download here

The OneSwarm annonymous filesharing client version 0.6.5 does not run properly on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" because of compatibility issues between the 64 bit Java 6 VM and SWT, symptoms are:

• Connections will never handshake completely because packets sent by the user running 10.6 will not reach the network interface (except the initial ~20 byte handshake packet). Probable cause: not receiving write selects (?). Workaround below
• When double clicking on a torrent a window will pop up saying "file could not be opened".
• In the classic ui: Preferences will not show the values of the actual preferences, clicking in the box will cause the value to be shown.

Workaround for connection problem

In the terminal:

Get the java 5 that was included in 10.5 "leopard" and unpack

cd /tmp/ curl -o java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz http://www.cs.washington.e... tar -xvzf java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz 

Move it to your System java folder (password needed)

sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard 

Tell OS X that java 5 actually is java 5

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ sudo rm 1.5.0 sudo ln -s 1.5.0-leopard 1.5.0 sudo rm 1.5 sudo ln -s 1.5.0 1.5 

Open Java Preferences

open "/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app" 

Change the properties to use Java 5 32-bit by default:

Done!

This workaround fixes issues in other apps as well,

• Enables Google Web Toolkit (GWT) hosted mode (fixes the "can not run on OS X with Java 6 bug")
• Azureus (Vuze) download issue described here: http://forum.vuze.com/thre...

Fonality's HUD3 works after running these steps.

Java 1.4

In case your system depended on java 1.4: Here is how to get Java 1.4 running on snow leopard.

cd /tmp/ curl -o java.1.4.2-leopard.tar.gz http://www.cs.washington.e... tar -xvzf java.1.4.2-leopard.tar.gz sudo mv 1.4.2 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2-leopard cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ sudo ln -s 1.4.2-leopard 1.4.2 sudo ln -s 1.4.2 1.4 open "/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app"
