   Guys on here have been way too generous to that crap called FrostWire.
   
   I tried to contact the developer after my upteenth crash in one day on the system.
   
   Anytime you browse someone with a lot of files be prepared to see that ship sink!
   
   FrostWire will crash 100% of the time! That you can take to the bank!
   
   How am I supposed to know whether the guy you are browsing has 100, 1,000 or 100,000 files?
   
   You never know. If you don't browse doesn't that defeat the purpose of sharing??
   
   I also don't get why I need to browse someone to find stuff that is important to my search. Shouldn't it just be displayed? Most of time I wouldn't browse if the content was shown, not hidden!
   
   Not the loads of porn and fake files, I tried a few yrs ago to filter it out.
   
   But it doesn't work. You will be blacklisting sources which you actually want.
   
   It's all a freakin game it's like going to gamble and almost never winning.
   
   Maybe it's free, but I'd rather pay a million dollars then go thru the stress and uncertainty
   
   of dealing with this and my time goes wasted. Not only that but you get to accumulate
   
   almost as many files that you download in incomplete files. No sugarcoating it
   
   I waste 3 gigs and over 3,000 files right now for the sources that either
   
   sign off or get the crash like I do. Sometimes you may never see the uploader's files
   
   ever again.
   
   The service is a crapshoot at best. No one simplifies any of this. Updates normally
   
   are much worse than versions a few years ago. I found out that several companies
   
   on purpose plant fatal errors in the code so no one uses the outdated software!
   
   I tried to be nice but my mom said don't sugar coat things when you feel strongly about something.
   
   I could not apologize to the guy because I was right. Yes the truth hurts!
   
   I thought Frost was like the covering on the unhealthy cereal my mom wouldn't let me eat as a kid.
   
   Her words you shouldn't eat that sugar frosted crap in my house!
   
   I wonder if that's how they FrostWire got its name, its not sugar coated, but it is crap. You can't
   
   sugar coat it anyway you try!
   
   About the only good thing I can say is that Gnutella aka LimeWire and Frostwire have certain music promo stuff
   
   I can't get on the torrent sites or I would never open FrostWire or LimeWire ever again!
   
   Appropriate rating, hmmm thats a good one, can I give a mark of -1, minus one? lol
   
   I would give both -2 if not for my promo cd I can find on Frost/LimeWire.

   Very good program. The .torrent association bug was a killer bug that almost made me uninstall forever, so I'm glad to see this is (supposedly) fixed now.

   As far as P2P, this client is one of the best. Its roots are in Limewire without the adware/spyware. I don't like many Java based apps, but this is a good client. It's very stable and not updated often.

   Peer2peer is something of the old days. Consider your self to use uTorrent with Bit Che searchtool or dive into newsgroups with News Bin Pro or Surfino Newsreader. There is to many rubbish on peer2peer and 50% of the times you will not find what you are looking for or it is a virus, corrupted file or low quality, only handy to download one specific MP3 so now and then but that's about it
