After seeing the site: What makes you suggest FW is better than LW Pro?
There are multi-millions of LW users out there. Many multiple times more than FW, so of course the overall number of those with a particular problem will be larger.

A couple years ago FW had the identical connection issues. I don't think anybody was screaming ... oh look at FrostWire, it's hopeless cannot even connect. lol LW was slow to pick up on it when their gnutella.net file went stale last year.

Two major differences between LW Pro & FW is, Pro connects to an extra ultrapeer, offering better search for the harder to find files. LW Pro has an improved search engine compared to the LW basic version which FW uses.

I would agree FW is better than LW 5. LW 5 should never have been released in the shape it's in. It will not be until at least later in year before they even return all the tools from LW 4, & iron out several bugs.

FW uses a chat room. This is good for people who like to chat in groups & receive help that way. Last time I was on there I was insulted by a couple of people (probably juveniles). Nice community. But I shouldn't generalise like that.

FW's best programmer left a couple years ago. Pity, he was very innovative (created his own version of LW with junk filter & torrent support & other things, before FW started & before LW introduced those tools.) And another left also. (I guess to make up for the loss in knowledge, FW boosted their program up into connecting to 4 UP's instead of 3 to give it a mix between LW basic & pro.)
