Of LimeWire and Frostwire
p2pnet.net news:- If you thought LimeWire was dead, thanks to the RIAA, think again.
It’s launched a blog explaining, in extreme detail, exactly why LimeWire has been acting up on Vista. But, “Vista is very pretty, and LimeWire looks pretty on it too!” it says.
That’s good. And meanwhile Frostwire, the excellent, and free, community driven p2p project based on source code released by LimeWire LLC, is doing well —- so well, in fact, that it’s looking for a little help from its friends.
“The unanticipated success of the new FrostWire has started to become a financial burden on the FrostWire team, who is not only developing the application for free, but is also paying for server hardware and web hosting with bandwidth exceeding several terabytes a month,” says the site, adding:
“Only with your help we can continue distributing a truly FREE gnutella+bittorrent client.
“Would you like to help the FrostWire team with a small donation before your download?”
