This is big release with the fastest downloads we’ve ever experienced on our desktop client.
We’ve done maintenance to all of our search providers and added a new one (MagnetDL).
Now when downloads fail to start you have a new action to “Retry Transfer”
We’ve gone from libtorrent/1.2.3 all the way to the latest 1.2.7 version giving you hundreds of performance updates and bug fixes that end up bringing the fastest downloads of any FrostWire release we’ve done.
On top of that, this new FrostWire is running on the latest stable Java Runtime, the OpenJDK 14.
Here is the full changelog.
