Works great. Have done many boards that I have only routed the critical
traces. The trick is to insure that you modify the line in the ulp to
convert to dsn
int preprotect = 1;
This will insure that if you preroute some traces they will be left
alone. Just let it finish because the final passes are to optimize.
Have done about 20 boards and have had great luck with some really
tough routing problems.

It sort of blows my mind that it exist.
What did you think of the push shove style manual routing? I hope eagle adds
that someday.
I have just lost an hour trying to get this to work. All I get is a
message telling me the virtual machine won't start. I have installed the
updated JVM; removed all old Java installs and reinstalled the new JRE;
restarted the machine. All to no avail.
Other JNLP packaged stuff seems to run but not this and no sensible
error message.
Anyone got any ideas?

I am getting that same message on my Mac OS 10.3.9 computer. I'll try it on
my XP computer today and let you know.

Works fine on Ubuntu 7.10 if you install Java 6 from the repositories.

Is there a way to select only the bottom layer for routing?

Yes, certainly. Simply deselect the top layer in Freeroute. I have used
it for many small single sided boards. I usually make a few test runs
and then move the components in Eagle so that tight spots disappear. The
'push and shove' manual routing works great as well. If the autorouter
does not manage, just delete a few routes, draw some connections by
hand, and start the autorouter again. No need to route 'nicely' by hand,
the autorouter cleanup phase takes care of that.
