does anyone know a good filesharing client (like frostwire or limewire) for windows and linux that isn't laced with spyware and viruses (for the windows version)

frostwire is faster, and in my opinion, a lot less buggy than limewire.

soulseek / nicotine

GPL edonkey/emule clients

...bit torrent?


or did you mean only ones that use the limewire network?

frostwire

of course bittorrent is miles above anything soulseek or gnutella can do

i thought frostwire had spyware built into the app for its windows version

frostwire is an opensource port of limewire pro and its ad free, theres always spyware on those networks thats why torrents are way better but built into the program, no
