It's now Nov 5 and FrostWire is asking me to download ver 4.18.3. Please tell me this looks nothing like LimeWire 5.2.13 (hate it)!!

Please always keep your original format.

We have been very lazy in updating this posting .. apologies!

4.18.3 looks the same .. more or less. The Mac version in fact looks a fraction different in a good way .. but no ..we are not using the new Limewire look at present. We are looking at Limewire 5's feedback, but are concentrating more on changes "under the hood" and you should find far less Spam and Junk in your search results with 4.18.3.

There was no 4.13.2 for Windows. There was one for Mac which was quickly withdrawn, so we have just numbered the windows release to keep in step.
