Frostwire or Limewire?

[22-250]

How do I decide which to install?

[DeadSuperHero]

Frostwire. It doesn't tie into your system like Limewire does, and it's FOSS. (Free Sofware/Open Source)

Also, it uses the GNUtella network. Yay.

That sounds good!
Once I download, how do I install?

Install both - if you are using Ubuntu then click on the Ubuntu version and it will install itself.
I think LimeWire is a tad better because FrostWire will stop running sometimes until you update and/or patch Java.
At least on my machines.

Between the 2 I would say install both and see what you like. Although I don't think Gnutella can hold a candle to BitTorrent.

Both Frostwire and Limewire have Ubuntu debs at there site.

Frostwire. I see no advantage to Limewire, at least in theory. They should both work exactly the same and Frostwire is opensource.

Also Frostwire is always turbo charged.

Limewire is also Open Source which Frostwire is based on; http://wiki.limewire.org/index.php?title=Overview
