If they're undocumented, by all means go to our repo ( frostwire / frostwire / overview), read the code and document away, help is needed. We could use people making youtube videos explaining what things are and why they are there.
The promo's usually have a "Download Now" button, if not it's pretty obvious that if you click you'll start downloading a torrent. These promo's are there for no cost to the Content Creators and they are a show case of what legal p2p is and how the network can be used to their advantage. We have help distribute several million legal downloads of movies, music albums and software. We are friends of Vodo.net and other organizations looking to promote free content. Thanks for calling us scumbags before talking to us.
The Ask toolbar offer has been there for years, if you can read you will not install it, if you do you can help the project continuity.
As of 4.21.x FrostWire we have now implemented automatic updates via BitTorrent, this way we eat our own food to distribute our technology, we have still not rolled out the first automatic update, this will happen for 4.21.2 once it's ready.
So nope, no malware, we'll never do malware, we're not that stupid.
Feel free to visit our forum's at http://frostwire.com/forums
We'll soon be activating the Mojito DHT aswell (in case anybody is wondering).
The FrostWire Team | You're a Edited by Sleepless: Not entirely truthful person, Gubatron.
The hidden .networkshare folder hides your frostclick torrents that you're transferring using the user's bandwidth without permission.
And no it's not obvious that on click it will start transferring the torrent.
I was even baffled by the poster. Where did it come from? I did not ask for it. I did not give FW the permission to go and retrieve a poster from a remote server.
You've distributed several million so called legal downloads because you've stolen the bandwidth from users without their knowledge.
By forcing Frostlick onto users in this deceitful way, you've insured that it's dead before it even became known to users.
Your FW forums are pretty dead, obviously you sensor post and the forums reflect that - useless.
And with the automatic updates, I will never download FW from your site again and will never recommend it to anybody again either.
At most I'll get a "fixed" version from here and will be looking for an alternative app.
