p2pnet’s survey update

EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music’s (US) bizarre anti-p2p, anti-consumers, anti-file sharing campaign isn’t working, their claims to the contrary notwithstanding.

FrostWire is a success in Brazil

Download portal Baixaki.ig.com.br has listed FrostWire and the number of Brazilian users has grown exponentially over the last 2 weeks.

Brazilians seem to be very outgoing about software and you can see so by reading all the excellent comments Baixaki users have to say about us.

So expect a translation to Portuguese for 4.13.1.8

Muito Obrigado Brasil!
The FrostWire Team

A few fixes coming for 4.13.1.8

System Tray fix on Ubuntu Version

Thanks to our friend Jorge Peña, a sharp and detailed oriented FrostWire Ubuntu User from California, USA, we’ve fixed two things so far for 4.13.1.8.

The .deb installer had some .svn remains which have been cleaned

When you close FrostWire, unless you have changed the system tray settings in the options, it won’t close in ubuntu unless you kill the process, now the default behaviour is to close immediatly, until we have more people using java 1.6 and we can use the new classes for the system tray, as of now, we decided to remove the system tray because people were reporting too many crashes due to JDIC

Thanks to our friend Jorge Peña for the heads up.

Brasileros baixan muito FrostWire
We have seen an exponential increase of users coming from Brazil during this last month of April 2007, this means 4.13.1.8 will include a translation to Brazilian localized Portuguese.

If you’re from Brazil maybe you can help us make the best translation possible, just reply to this post and we’ll contact you.

Muito Axe!
