wow I agree to no auto-update. Such a dangerous tool. We saw what happened with LimeWire & its auto-updating tool after LW 5.5.10.

And who needs or wants advertising or toolbars especially without their permission installed on their system. Some people or companies sell themselves out. Does anybody care about the client users hey ! ?

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.

BTW, you're miss understanding the "auto-update" feature. It's more of a "auto-download-the-installer" feature. The user can decide wether or not to start the installer.

What is wrong with the usual optional "available update" notifications, which thousands upon thousands of programs have no trouble using?

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.
