FrostWire hits the half-million BT mark
p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- The FrostWire and FrostClick mission?
Find talented unsigned and indie artists and labels who want to share their music online under a Creative Commons license, or some other form of free distribution.
The result?
FrostWire now shares more than half-a-million free legal downloads via BitTorrent and, “We’re proud of that,” the team told p2pnet.
The amount of data shared so far comes to more than 47 Terabytes at zero cost to the musicians and artists.
Another plus of all this content being shared over FrostWire is: it now has thousands of Gnutella seeds, meaning it’s now also available to millions of Gnutella users.

Georgia Wonder’s Torrent file was hosted and tracked by The Pirate Bay, so FrostWire doesn’t have the number of completed downloads.
But, “We know it was a very popular torrent the week of the promotion because it was among the top 20 seeded music torrents,” says the FrostWire guys, adding:
“This torrent also was also published to the Mininova tracker where it shows another 9,232 completed downloads as of March 31st, 2009.
“If you’re an artist or content creator looking to share some of your work for free so others experiment and get to know you, check FrostClick and FrostWire out.”"

I apologise for posting off topic Jon but what has happened to the Blubster folks ?
Their ad is missing and I know you where not receving any revenue for the space but I was of the view that you where supporting them in their hour of need ?
A follow up story on their plight might be something helpful.
