Limewire vs. Frostwire

2007-07-02T18:29:00.000+01:00

As many people might say - Which is better?

Basically, the Frostwire team disagree with Limewire's decision to filter content on the Gnutella network. Frostwire will never offer a paid or Pro version unlike Limewire, so Frostwire is completely free, also offering turbo-charged downloads (as far as I have seen so far). The Frostwire team does try too keep a good relationship with the Limewire project. I personally prefer Frostwire :)
