Summary

"The cases are part of an explosion of child porn suspects, who are increasingly introduced to child porn by the internet and then introduced to police the same way" -
"Fast, reliable, and an asset to find good, rare stuff."
Version: FrostWire 5.0.8
Pros
Unlike other software of this ilk, I get many results fast and they are usually 90% relevant to what I was looking for. Uploads are really fast.
Cons
Well, none really. I am knocking off a star for the simple fact that 10% of my search results are crud/spam. Not sure this can ever be solved by anyone, but it does force me to double check what I'm uploading before doing so.
Summary
The bottom line is that my taste in music is erratic and sometimes I simply have to hear a song or album or I won't be able to sleep. I know downloading music is sketchy, but Frostwire is a really great resource to scratch an itch that is hard to reach. I don't use it often, but when I do there is no BS. And let's face it, some movies simply won't be shown in the US (ie A Serbian Film) and Frostwire is a great resource for this.

"No where near what CNET's review says anymore..."
Version: FrostWire 5.0.8
Pros
Nothing at all. (Honestly.)
Cons
EVERYTHING! LITERALLY EVERYTHING!
Summary
I might be over exaggerating, but, this is seriously the worst update for any software I've ever had in my computing life. Frostwire should rename the software to bittorent because thats all this is. The review on your site now says the word gnutella in it. Well it's nowhere to be seen in this new software. Fix your review.
