PeerCommons.net is recovering from battle wounds

To our loyal chat community and FrostClick.com users.

We’re incredibly apologetic that our content and chat services have been inaccessible since last night due to some creative people attacking our servers all night.

We hope you can be a little patient while we bring the services back.

You can expect downtime for the next hours on:

• chat.peercommons.net (IRC)
• frostclick.com (Our legal download directory)
• tracker.frostwire.com (Our legal torrent tracker)

Tiara Wiles “This is Tiara” (alt. torrent location)
If you wanted to get the Tiara Wiles album (our featured torrent of the week), here’s the torrent file with plenty of seeds.

We’ll be moving FrostClick.com and the tracker to machines far from the IRC server so that this won’t happen again.

We are working as fast as we can to get the issues solved.

PS: And to whoever hacked us, thanks for teaching us more about security, guess we were not paranoid enough and we’ve learned our lesson. And we extend a shaking hand to you, we could use the security knowledge in the team.

Update: FrostClick.com is back online. Still working on chat.peercommons.net

Update 7pm: Peercommons.net is back up. And all the services along with it. Thanks for your patience.

FrostWire on Wheels

We think it’s pretty amazing that many of our users love FrostWire so much that they actually put the stickers on their cars.

These are some pictures our community members have proudly taken and shared with us

Even on RC cars!

Send us your FrostWire Sticker Pictures to contact@frostwire.com or add them directly to the Flickr Photo Pool

Imagine Huge FrostWire Banners on the Street

Are you good at Gimp, Photoshop or other photo-editing imaging software?

If you have creative ideas (and the time) to create HUGE imaginary FrostWire banners send your (Creative Commons licensed) photo realistic montages of the FrostWire logo to contact@frostwire.com. Hell, If you live in the US we’ll even send you an XL FrostWire T-Shirt as a thankful gesture for sharing your creation with us.

Some Ideas

• The bigger proportion you can show the better. Imagine you could put the biggest banner in the world, where would you put it so more people could see it? (can something beat a banner on a full moon in terms of audience reach?)
• The FrostWire logo on huge buildings
• Highway signage
• Time Square
• Projected over clouds on top of a city

FrostWire Logo Resources

• Adobe Illustrator file
• 1500×292 png file

Brad Sucks FrostWire’s Welcome Screen this week

Download Torrent

Brad Sucks new album “Out of It” is the Frostclick Pick of this week for the FrostWire Welcome Screen. Definitively a must for your portable m3p player.

Brad Sucks according to wikipedia
Brad Turcotte (born November 14, 1976), a member of the one man band Brad Sucks, was among the first musicians to take full advantage of the Free Culture movement for advertising and distribution. He has very successfully used micropatronage to profit from his work without restricting the freedom to share and modify it.

Turcotte opened his website in 2002 with the intention of producing “open source music”. His self-produced single, Brad Sucks One, included the audio source files used to create the finished files, and later he posted these source files to his website along with the MP3s.

Turcotte waives all rights to his songs essentially making them public domain.

You’re in for a treat, Brad Sucks Rocks. If you’re into Twitter, you can follow him.

Thanks to the FrostClick team once again for putting together an awesome torrent, it even includes lyrics to all the songs, and a short voice message from Brad Sucks himself to all the FrostWire users.

Follow us on Twitter

The FrostWire team has a few Twitter addicts. It was about time we blogged here how to follow what’s going on

FrostWire .PISI package for Linux Pardus now available.

User Demir from Istanbul, Turkey let us know today that Linux Pardus is very popular over there and that they’ve created a FrostWire .pisi package for easy installation of FrostWire on that Linux Distro.

We can’t really test that package on our end, but If you are a Pardus user reading this, please give it a try with that package and let us know how things went.
