I just decided to try Frostwire, seeing as Limewire is giving me
trouble. It sounds nice in theory, but it's completely unusable. After
it's been running a short time, or if you change skin (and the default
is butt-ugly and clunky and makes my eyes actually, physically hurt)
the window will no longer redraw properly, and once this has happened,
if a modal dialog box comes up (e.g. overwrite prompt) it pops under
the main window and is inaccessible (even with alt-tab -- if you select
it there it will immediately go to the back of the main window again
before you can do anything with it), which means it's game over.

AFAIK, frostwire is basically limewire (pro) without copyright and stuff.
Don't quote me on it though, as maybe they have changed something around.
