LoKz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think its about the same only dif is that they changed name... and suppostly none of the MPAA stuff is on it also i think LimeWire has more searches for some reason dont know :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoKz Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The advertisements.. i havent seen... but they both use same service and for some reason LimeWire Pro has more search results..... :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATE9X Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I did some "wikipediaing" to get this 100% right.. ;)FrostWire is fork of LimeWire ("fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct piece of software")."The FrostWire program includes all of the free LimeWire version's functionality, plus a few features of LimeWire Pro's fee based upgrades. FrostWire also provides a chatroom which is absent in LimeWire."I use LimeWire Pro as it's updated more often, FrostWire seems to be a few versions behind all the time.. & beacuse I like Lime.. :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i didnt know people still used that stuff to be honest...is it like what kazza used to be??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 i didnt know people still used that stuff to be honest...is it like what kazza used to be???I never knew kazaa the way it used to be. But it's similar to the kazaa i used years ago. But LW has faster dl speeds as kazaa.(The kazaa i know) Limewire is quite useful for downloading singles, but if you need an album a torrent is your man.

HATE9X Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I only use LimeWire Pro for downloading music vids or some other small stuff like that if I can't find them (or can't bother to search) on internetzzz or bt..I think it also has lots of XXX but I haven't remembered to try to search for any as I almost always use passes for paysites or just normal http dls.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoKz Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Kazza has alot of copies now... and not safe to use... no one uses it like morpheous.. and others like winmx and more... LimeWire Pro is good enough and UseNet is SAFE and fast :P always use protection too.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp3it Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Frost wire is the open source ver of Limewire. There was a chance that Limewire would be shut down so they released the code. You can check it out herehttp://sourceforge.net/projects/frostwire/Kazza was the best, RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumant30 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I heard about FrostWire but i've always used LimeWire pro, is FrostWire any better or are they just the same? I mean, download speed/memory usage/looks.Both of them are made from same core but limewire pro requires u pay some money and frostwire is free but in frostwire you don't get a turbocharge download so its upto you what you want to use. :blink: :rockon: :towel: :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
