Features:
* As with LimeWire, FrostWire is written in Java, and is therefore capable of supporting multiple platforms.
* While LimeWire is available in both free and paid versions, FrostWire is released only as a free version, the Windows version of which comes bundled with the Ask.com toolbar. FrostWire includes much of the functionality of LimeWire's free version, as well as a few of LimeWire Pro's payment based upgrades.
* FrostWire provides a chatroom, which is absent in LimeWire. However, LimeWire includes an instant messenger using the Jabber protocol and allows the user to share with individual friends in the messenger which is a feature not found in FrostWire. Starting from version 4.13.1.7, the chat feature of displays advertising to help pay for the required servers.[1]
* FrostWire's interface was originally nearly identical to that of LimeWire. However, LimeWire 5.0 has a re-designed interface which has not been implemented by FrostWire. FrostWire's skin may be changed to a variety of different colors which is no longer an option in LimeWire 5.0.

Yeah..Yeah... this tool sounds nice.. but are you going to be throwing pop-ups at us man? Very Bad Niks....
If you are referring to the Djizoes "ad", it's not a pop-up - it's a free music download FrostWire features every now. These are mostly great Creative Commons licensed albums getting some free promotion :P
Do you like it now, or are you still against it?
I've been using this on Mac OS and I love it. Really fast! I'm about to install it on Linux. Great App!
