Getting marketing phone calls from early morning to evening & even on weekends. hmm why does it remind me of the 'unclean' FrostWire they offer at their site. Glad to see a clean version.

Just to set the record straight with "auto-update", even if this is 16 years later.

We never added an "auto-update" feature, specially after we saw how LimeWire got shutdown.

We were hit with an FTC investigation and we negotiated REALLY HARD not to put an auto-update feature, we managed to settle for an "auto update download" and users decide to install that auto-downloaded installer, it's never executed automatically.

We did this basically because we were forced to, otherwise FrostWire would've gone down too.
