Why upload a bmp to a crap share service. Resize and host with imgur

Well, if you live dangerously and you want to turn off the NAM lock, you can always roll your own and send:

NV Attribute Set, number=0x0105, index=0, data=0x00

Ok, here's a little gem I've been working on for a while.

A file downloader which can fetch .jar files from the 'net!
It's still very beta, but I'll keep on it, bug reports will help.
As it stands, it only notifies the user of errors recognized by the phone's Java software. External errors are dumped as HTML into the destination file when they occur instead of the file being downloaded.
It can't fetch .jad files (thanks to a block in the VM proxy server,) but those can be created on the phone anyway (see [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and in Willie from SF's comments on [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] )

Instructions and download links for my app are here
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

edit: *@!?#$#!
glitchy app!
Works here and there but returns 0 byte long files other places and a few sites return the "Access denied" html file instead of the desired .jar, but named as the .jar you were trying to download.
use at your own risk and be sure to give me feedback as you do so I can work on it.

Wooow.. I'll need to sit down and read through all this as soon as I can, but I just wanted to let you guys know that you've motivated me to sit down and start ripping my Rumor Touchs' guts out again!! I think you guys have taken it to the next level. With all this info, I'm thinking we should be able to hack everything crappy out of it and make everybody happy.

You ROCK!!

I'm afraid that until there's a BREWmeister interested in modding the RT much of the crappiness will remain, but it sure can be prettied up alot more that was intended by design.
Too bad my downloader project went flop because of the service provider network proxy's limitations. I suspect attempts at other projects may run into similar barriers. Well, at least more is being discovered about this handset than most vm pieces...

Still worth trying to tune up more, I suspect.
