FrostWire

FrostWire is a free and open-source peer-to-peer file-sharing program that allows users to download music, videos, and other media files. It was originally a fork of LimeWire, another popular file-sharing client, but has since diverged significantly in its features and functionality. FrostWire is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The software operates on the BitTorrent protocol, enabling users to share files directly with each other without relying on a central server. FrostWire includes a built-in search engine that allows users to find files across various public BitTorrent trackers. It also supports magnet links and .torrent files.

In addition to file sharing, FrostWire offers a media player for listening to music and watching videos. It also has features for managing downloaded files, such as sorting by type and organizing into libraries. The project emphasizes user privacy and does not track user activity. FrostWire is developed and maintained by a community of volunteers. Users are advised to be aware of copyright laws and only download content that they have the legal right to access.
