erm .. here-say .. propaganda right? You read that 'at' the FrostWire forums, yes I saw it mentioned there too, by ignoramuses who are not even highly experienced Gnutella users let alone know anything about the 'technical' differences. I initially saw them mention that a long time ago, the propaganda has so much filtered into their brains they actually believe it without seriously doing the research. lol
FrostWire is 'based' on the LW Basic programming (3 U.P.'s) with an extra UP & a couple other things added. Does not make it equivalent to LW Pro.
Personal point of view: I've used both ... certainly no comparison from a personal point of view. I search 'rare' files, something FW seems to lack quite the same abilities of. Whilst I have my own disagreements against LW's approach, ... when comparing .. I would definitely choose Pro above FW because I know it delivers results.
