Popularity After LimeWire Shutdown
After LimeWire was closed down on 26 October 2010 (LimeWire was under a court injunction to stop them from distributing and developing P2P software) FrostWire 4 became increasingly popular as it was almost identical to LimeWire and had similar features. After version 5 FrostWire can only download torrents, those using the Gnutella network either have to use version 4, or switch to another client altogether.

Famous quotes containing the word popularity:
“Here also was made the novelty ‘Chestnut Bell’ which enjoyed unusual popularity during the gay nineties when every dandy jauntily wore one of the tiny bells on the lapel of his coat, and rang it whenever a story-teller offered a ‘chestnut.’”
—Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
