  1. Sorry, but what's significant about version 3 over version 2? Is it mostly a lot of 'under the hood' stuff?

     

    I don't see any glaringly obvious features or changes for such a jump as far as what the masses will be expecting. This seems more like a version 2.5 than a 3.0, if anything.

  2. Dennis, you're correct - I missed it. Per their site, the ask.com toolbar was added in the most recent version of FW. It's harmless and easy to uninstall so no harm done.

     

    The preview function not working is a bug in the most recent version, per FW's support forum. They're working on it.

     

    No show-stopper complaints yet. I'll use it for a while and see what happens.

  3. I installed Frostwire this morning. It did an uninstall if Limewire during its own install, which was ok. It somehow added an ask.com toolbar, which wasn't ok. I didn't notice it as an optional item during install. It may have been in the TOS section.

     

    Otherwise, so far so good. It certainly seems faster, both with search results and with download speeds. I didn't set up any A/B test to confirm this. The only problem was I couldn't preview any song with my default player that was still being downloaded. The option was there, but it wouldn't respond.

  4. If you're going to use P2P get into the very religious habit of virus and malware scanning everything you download.

    One does have to use common sense with what gets downloaded. If you're downloading programs (coughcrackscough) and videos (coughporncough), you're almost asking for trouble.

     

    I just download music. :D

  5. Thanks, but what is the appeal of Frostwire? They don't contrast it against Limewire on their website or in their user forum (that I could find). I could try it myself, but I can't tell if it would end up being more redundant than worthwhile.

  6. I'm a Limewire user. Is there any advantage to using Frostwire instead?

     

    Best I can tell from FW's site is:

    • You get the equivalent of LW Pro's extra features.
    • There is no difference in the filtering method. :angry: :angry: :angry:

    Can someone spell out the other differences?

     

    Thanks.
