I have been a old user of limewire. Its java based GUI was very sluggish and i hated it. It used to slow down everything on my PC including the clicks and window switches !
I thought frostwire would be better than limewire. but to my utter disappointment, its the same irritating sluggishness
which bogs FW down also....its a copy of limewire i guess. same UI and look&feel etc....
But few observation i want to share with users and members of the forum....and hoping few comments on it also

I have seen that the sluggishness and slowing down happens when i have shared too too many files ( say nearly 1000 odd mp3 songs).
When i reduced the no of files shared to 60(currently it is 60 and PC is not at all slow) the system becomes stable and normal.
This i believe is an undesirable aspect of a P2P file sharing client.
Comparing with say utorrent which i use extensivly, which hardly makes any natble diff to my normal PC activities.

ANother point : The memory footprint of FW is nearly 30-40 MB !! where as utorrent takes only 2-3 MB . ( checked in ctrl-alt-del task manager)
if only some new gnutella client comes up with comparable footprint as utorrent....
This is my first post to the forum.
Hello to all.
good bye...
