Product Description:

Frogblast is a clone of the Hotline client software. Frogblast is the result of more than a year of work (on and off...), and is written exclusively for Mac OS X, using Apple's Cocoa APIs. It supports practically the entire 1.2.3 and some of the 1.8 feature set, including threaded news, administrator functions (user booting/banning) and account creation and editing. Frogblast was written for Mac OS X from the ground up, and offers a far better user experience than any of the other available Hotline clients, including the official one.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a the Download Queue bug where files would stop early.
Fixed a bug that would prevent files from downloading completely when on hxd 0.2.8 servers.
Fixed a number of crashing bugs.
Changed the sound format to aiff to try to avoid sound problems introduced with Jaguar.
Fixed a bug (again) that could cause uploads to stop early when on Windows servers.
Fixed some problems when uploading files with multi-byte characters in their names

Great solid little application. - Version: 1.2.4, 3/16/2005 11:27PM PST

It's a nicer hotline application. Clean interface. Never bomb on me.

But haven't been updated for a while.

And there's no "search" function, which might be useful when "searching" for a paticular strings in the "File" list rather than do it manually.

Great app, download now... are you not downloading.... DOWNLOAD!!! (phew...) - Version: 1.2.4, 3/8/2005 04:16PM PST

Basically it's hotline with a prettier face and all of the same features. If you use hotline on OSX and don't have frogblast I have just 1 question...

What's wrong with you???
