ok well it works this time around when I installed it. Before it never used to work. But as to why I wanted a non-java based one was because everytime I tried to open Frostwire it never opened.(i.e. it appeared in the processes tab in task manager but then disappears a few seconds after). Java once caused my computer to constantly restart so I had to format my pc...so when things like that happen, I tend to get scared.
