Cool! Can you download in sleep mode with this? Also, since its an eshop clone it just installs cia straight without having to have to download and store the cia file locally right?

I've tried this homebrew application yesterday, and i really love it! you've done it so well.
However, after the second app i downloaded, i went to homescreen to check it, but the package didn't show.
Do you check the SD card's available space? i think my SD card might not have enough space, could that be the problem?

Just installed, I see it's a WIP but worked great. Installed SMB3 without problems.

One tip, I downloaded the enctitlekeys updater and used it to create the file, but for some reason decided to do that first before installing freeshop.

It doesn't work in that order. Install freeshop, then the updater. Seems dumb and obvious, but in case anyone else tries it backwards like I did, don't... lol

Great work on this project.

Possibly, but reboot the 3DS and see if it shows up then.

Not yet lol. There isn't enough error checking in general atm which is the main cause of failures. With time this will obviously improve.

I don't know much about that, but seems odd. I'd guess case-sensitivity issues, but the sd card is fat32 afaik so shouldn't matter. Oh well, I'll leave it to the author of that program to figure it out.

Odds of being banned from the Nintendo Network for using this app to download games?
