Seen anyone using frostwire?
 
I haven't seen anyone connect to me (or that I've connected to) that is using it (yet). How 'bout you?

I have ;) If you enable the "Distribution" column in the search window, you might see rarely a "SNOW" result. SNOW is the FW vendor code.

You could do a search for frostwire and fall on some folks...

Of course we aren't a lot we only get 1 500 downloads a day right now :)

I just connected to an ultrapeer using frostwire today :cool: . We're starting to get around ;)

yes, there are more FWs around :) But many of those are scammed people unfortunately.

The more FWs there are, the better Gnet will heal when LW goes DRM.

I finally saw a FrostWire connected to me today UL at 20Kb/s how many estimated users now ?

We get about 1 500 downloads daily which is low, but better than nothing ;)

The LW crawler is undercounting FW nodes and mix them with LW nodes stats, but I'd estimate our number of user online between 5 000- 8 000 at any time.

Occasionally someone uploading will be Frostwire. BearShare, or 360Share whatever that is.

I use it !
 
And it's very good thanks - after much reading of the Limewire forums I have configured it nicely getting good reliable downloads ~ 120Kb and can push uploads to ~60Kb.

A few bugs in the beta I am using relating to the filtering being missing otherwise very good..

I didn't say, but I have started using Frostwire too. I have both Frostwire and Limewire basic. They are very similar. I was using them both and switching back and forth and decided that of the two, Frostwire is little better. With Frostwire you get 4 ultrapeers instead of three.

I think Limewire Pro would probably be better except in Limewire neither Chat nor Freeloader option are functional. I like the ability to use Chat to occasionally send a message to someone. Also, I like to be able to restrict Freeloaders. For those two reasons, I decided that I would Frostwire and not upgrade to Limewire Pro. Of course things change so, at a latter date, I could end up using Limewire Pro.

EDIT: Since posting the above on 2/6/07, I have returned to Limewire. With Frostwire at least an average of once a day a number of files being uploaded will be stuck at 'Queued (#)'. Several hours later the same files are still stuck at 'Queued (#)' and there would be no further uploads. Only by X-ing out and restarting Frostwire would uploads resume. This has not happened with Limewire so I am considering upgrading to Limewire Pro. Perhaps, in the near future, Frostwire will find and fix the bug.
