| The .networkshare is a hidden and nowhere documented folder that holds torrents that Frostwire automatically distributes without permission from the user. The torrent in question is called "Four Eyed Monsters" and it's a 1.4 Gb film. It also seems Frostwire checks for updates (transmitting who knows what information in the process) without giving the option to disable the feature. I will never accept automatic updates from any app on my computer and if the app does not give me a choice I will stop using it. The film is distributed as part of their new Frosclick endeavor. I don't care what they do on Frostclick but they can't use my bandwidth without asking me first. |

You can always turn off the promos in the settings if they bother you so much. You should lay off the hate-orade, you get a lot more with honey. |

It's just about impossible to avoid clicking inside the area where that poster is and as soon as one clicks in it, it starts to download. It's a deceitful tactic and that's why you were called a scumbag. If you're not trying to trick people into doing something then you wouldn't need to resort to such tactics. In addition, a few more complaints. You keep adding marketing and advertising garbage into FW instead of working on basic features and improving the basic functionality. Why is there still no "Exit" menu item? One has to close, then right click in the tiny system tray and then finally click exit. Very annoying. How about having a customizable toolbar like any proper app should have? But no, instead you keep piling on the advertising ****. Last edited by shapeshifter910; November 30th, 2010 at 10:38 AM. |
