This one was made by a founding member of the FrostWire project, there’s only a handful of these out there in the world, I’m lucky to have it, I think it looks even cooler than the official t-shirt, almost designer made.
shameless marketing plug
And I’d like to use the occasion to let you know that the work of winter has resulted in a new version of FrostWire 4.18.0, make sure you download it from the official website only.
Here’s a screen capture of the Georgia Wonder’s Twitter update in regards to the promotion they did with FrostWire and FrostClick.
They decided to share their EP, “Hello Stranger” for free via FrostWire. Their torrent has reached the Top 20 most shared music torrents of The Pirate Bay in only 4 days.

We want to give thanks to William L. Thomson Jr from Gentoo for making FrostWire available to people running Gentoo ~arch or unstable ~x86 or ~amd64.
If you are a Gentoo Linux user you can now just do:
emerge frostwire
And as William says:
it will bring in all deps, compile, install, make desktop menu entries, launcher, etc :)
If you’re interested here’s the package

User luisdrk from Caracas,Venezuela has posted this picture on flickr. Pretty cool stuff. it’s actually a parody of this picture by Jesus Molina.
It’s really funny because we had our inspiration from a similar source, we looked for the words “frost wire” in flickr, and we saw frozen barbed wires, this is the one that caught our eye and then we talked to a great graphic designer who did the logo for us.
