FrostWire is a Free and open-sourceBitTorrent client first released in September 2004, as a fork of LimeWire. It was initially very similar to LimeWire in appearance and functionality, but over time developers added more features, including support for the BitTorrent protocol. In version 5, support for the Gnutella network was dropped entirely, and FrostWire became a BitTorrent-only client.[2]

FrostWire is a free and easy BitTorrent Client, Cloud Downloader and Media Player for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android Search, Download, Play and Share Files. Frostwire is a free, open-source BitTorrent client designed to be an all-in-one media center. Originally built as a companion to the now-extinct Limewire, Frostwire has since evolved into its own unique program offering a wide variety of services. Aug 25, 2020 FrostWire Search, Download, Play, Share on Bittorrent and the cloud Brought to you by: aldenml, alkalinex, gubatron. FrostWire is a multi-platform app, which works as a combined BitTorrent client, search engine and media player. The software allows users to search for files, download them, share them, and play them, all within the same application. In essence, it is a peer-to-peer file sharing app, with similarities to the now defunct Limewire software.History[edit]

FrostWire, a BitTorrent client (formerly a Gnutella client), is a collaborative, open-source project licensed under the GNU General Public License. In late 2005, concerned developers of LimeWire's open source community announced the start of a new project fork 'FrostWire' that would protect the developmental source code of the LimeWire client. FrostWire has evolved to replace LimeWire's BitTorrent core for that of Vuze, the Azureus BitTorrent Engine, and ultimately to remove the LimeWire's Gnutella core to become a 100% BitTorrent client powered by the libtorrent library through FrostWire's jLibtorrent Java wrapper library since August 2014.Gnutella client[edit]

The project was started in September 2004 after LimeWire's distributor considered adding 'blocking' code in response to RIAA pressure.[3] The RIAA threatened legal action against several peer-to-peer developers including LimeWire[3] as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd..[4]

The second beta release of FrostWire was available in the last quarter of 2005.[5][6]Multiprotocol P2P client[edit]

Since version 4.20.x, FrostWire was able to handle torrent files and featured a new junk filter. Also, in version 4.21.x support was added for most Android devices.BitTorrent client[edit]

Since version 5.0 (2011), FrostWire relaunched itself as a BitTorrent application, so those using the Gnutella network either have to use version 4, or switch to another client altogether.[7]Preview before download[edit]

Since version 6.0, FrostWire adds preview files before download.Adware and malware[edit]

Since around 2008 some members of the FrostWire community began to notice the distribution of the optional Ask.com toolbar in the Windows installers.[8] On September 9, 2015 the official knowledge base claimed that FrostWire no longer distributes the Ask.com toolbar, and provided instructions on how to remove it.[9] Around 2019, Frostwire has been noted to install other adware and malware, such as the browser hijacker WebDiscover[citation needed].FrostWire 4 Legacy[edit]

Software based in the original FrostWire source (gnutella enabled) still exists, for example WireShare, a gnutella client that forked from the original FrostWire/LimeWire source in 2010, with the purpose of keeping the Gnutella network alive and to maintain a continuation of the original project (without adware, spyware and backdoors).[10][11]FrostWire for Android[edit]

FrostWire/FrostWire Plus for Android (also known as FrostWire Downloader) is a native Android-based BitTorrent client, with additional support for downloading videos and music from YouTube. The application is based on the P2P BitTorrent network, with support for downloading music, movies, applications, as well as other content. The application also has support for downloading music from the cloud-based service SoundCloud, and includes a featured Music Library & Music Player. The most recent version, 2.1.9 build 637, was made available on March 5, 2020.Features[edit]Frostwire Download

 * Fixes a possible freeze reported by some users when the configuration wizard is shown.* Fixes issue when a user changes default Gnutella Save Folder and unchecks Sharing finished downloads. Individually shared files from the old Save Folder would still be shared. Now all individually shared files will be unshared if you uncheck this setting.* Now users don’t have to re-start to stop seeding after they’ve changed their torrent Seeding Configuration. All torrents old and new will stop seeding as soon as the setting is applied.* Better wording to explain on which networks files are being shared on, Gnutella or BitTorrent.* Changed color of “Sharing Optionsâ€� gear icon to blue, gray icon may have seemed as if the button was disabled.* Added “Sharing Optionsâ€� gear button on Search Tab.
