FrostWire 4.17.0 Released

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

After 6 months of work, a completely new fork from the LimeWire code base has come to fruition, FrostWire 4.17.0 features over a year’s worth of core and user interface upgrades made to the original LimeWire client, now included in FrostWire along all the previous work done over FrostWire 4.13.x.

Among the most important updates:
