I'm very happy with LW 4.16 pro ... have been ever since it was released year & half ago. Tests have shown it works better than LW 4.18; And better than Frostwire. People are free to choose whichever software they wish. I shall keep my notes about FrostWire's poor network behaviour between myself & the LW devs. I don't or rarely ban FW hosts .. but I've heard a lot of LW users do due to FW's aggressive behaviour. FW becoming another of the old infamous Morpheus versions?

When FW was first released with 3 ultrapeers .. the users said it was as good as LW Pro (despite they'd never tried LW pro.) One of the FW devs ... arrogant by name & character ... pushed FW to connect to 4 Ultrapeers instead of 3. The 3 original FW devs were against it .. they had to wait for this dev to get the windows FW versions ready for release, .. eventually helping him & doing most of the work. (Users still kept saying it was as good as or better than LW Pro.) This dev pushed FW into connecting to 5 ultrapeers in his typical arrogant fashion. Those 3 original FW devs left, not wanting a part of it. FW was originally only supposed to be equivalent to LW Basic but a certain head-inflated dev pushed it. Now the arrogance is starting to show through in FW's behaviour on the network, pushing, making more requests than it should. I see FW hosts 'auto-banned' frequently with my LW. Not because of me ... but due to their client, & the way they use it.

Helpful FW users; last time I connected to their so-called community online ... I was abused by a bunch of what seemed like less than teenage aged people. That's the FrostWire community for you. I daren't even try to use that function ever again.

Oops we're getting off the topic of this thread; mac 0SX 10.4.11 and Limewire

I've used LW 4.16 happily on two mac computers .. an intel & a G4. FW is the only one that's ever frozen on me btw.

(Posting a direct link to another software in this thread topic was what I was referring to, mentioning it was something else.)
I could just as well post links to Phex (far superior to FrostWire, connects to more ultrapeers & less spam), BearShare, Gnucleus, etc. etc.
