What do you mean by:

>but when i tried to run it using the add program process,

AFAIK frostwire is not in the ubuntu repositories, so I guess you installed the package from http://www.frostwire.com/?
How did you install it?

On the 2nd part of your question, do you mean a torrent client?
In Universe we have Azureus, bittornado, bittorrent, ktorrent, qtorrent and few others.
