FrostWire appears to be an open source clone of LimeWire, both being Gnutella clients written in Java.

According to Wikipedia, they each have some level of support for BitTorrent.. so the confusion is understandable.

There are lighter clients available for both protocols, why anyone would use a bloated Java application is beyond me.
