Hello!

I have made a program that downloads the OTA apps for the Blackberry


Here is the very 1st version of it!


No support is provided at this point! Step by Step directions in the HELP section of the program!


After download export everything in C root directory!

Very appropriate name for it since it is stealing in my book

I don't see how accessing jad and cod files is stealing - assuming the user has a license to access them.

It's another thing altogether if someone is grabbing files they're not supposed to have access to, or if they're reverse engineering them once they have them.

But access=stealing? Don't think so...

And FWIW, I'd never run an app called Steal the jads. Come up with a better name if you're going to advocate a legitimate use. If you're a pirate and proud, I think you won't last long around here.

Well i totaly agree with you. All the program does is accessing..
As for the name of the program the "stealing" has more the meaning of grabbing or fetching. I will rename it.


New Link. Might not work for a while

Yes when you have the rights to get the files then it isn't stealing BUT typically people use this type of programs as well as the others to grab the files and post them. I have seen it happen with themes and programs...

Agreed, that's definitely straight-up thieving.

I use these apps to get the jad/cod files as a backup for later re-installs. I do lots of OS hacking, and keeping track of OTA stuff is too time-consuming/confusing. It's also useful for keeping old versions around, in case a new "update" isn't all it's supposed to be. *cough* facebook 1.5 *cough* (bad example, tho, since I didn't backup FB)
