• Our New Huge first FrostWire+Telluride Release
• What we hope to achieve in 2021
• What’s been done in 2020

Hello friends, if you’re reading this it means you’ve survived 2020 so far. It hasn’t been easy for anybody, but we’re here to keep delivering great free open source software for the world.

Excited for FrostWire 6.8.8 and following releases

We’ve just finished a big desktop release, we’ve fixed every search source, added new ones, brought forth bleeding edge java technology and squashed several pending bugs.

We no longer bundle offers in our installers but more importantly we’ve brought back a feature many of you kept asking for, only now it’s a 100 times better than ever before.

We like to call it “Telluride Cloud Downloader“.

The Telluride Cloud Video downloader is in an easy to use, stand-alone, command line tool that makes use of youtube-dl library to let a user backup, archive or time-shift their cloud hosted videos.

Usually these video hosting services do not provide a convenient way for content creators to download the content they uploaded (perhaps to make it inconvenient to export user’s libraries to competitors), or there might be content of public interest that could be politically censored by a tyrannical government and it should be archived for journalistic reasons, or the user have to be away from a wireless signal for hours or days and needs to time-shift.

Also, there are hundreds of millions of public domain, creative commons and legally free videos available in these platforms.

Starting with FrostWire 6.8.8 for desktop the installation folder also comes with a telluride executable (in geek-speak: it’s a self-contained python runtime executable and python script that simplifies the use of youtube-dl for FrostWire users)

But don’t worry, you don’t need a command line to use it, all you need to do is open FrostWire and paste the URL of your video. FrostWire tells telluride the URL and reads the response to show you the download options for your video shown the same way as FrostWire search results.

It works with hundreds of sites. It’s very useful for those of us that upload original content to social media websites such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, OpenTube, BitChute, DailyMotion, Vimeo and hundreds more.

Backups, Timeshifting, Archival

If you do live broadcasts on Instagram or Twitter, now you can finally download your broadcasts to your computer and easily edit a shorter version of your broadcast, or you can extract clips with the best parts so that you can post to your feed or video channel.

Just copy the link to your live IG broadcast into the FrostWire search box and you will see the available download options.

Twitter/Periscope broadcast backups will be available in future releases.

What’s Next for 2021

Now that this big Telluride ticket for desktop is finally done, we’ll be improving it and enhancing it progressively with further releases, we’ll be adding support for more advanced users that need an easy and powerful internet archiving tool (journalists, librarians, historians), and we’ll be adding a “daemon mode” for the telluride tool so it doesn’t spawn a new process every time you paste a cloud URL on FrostWire.

We want to bring Telluride to Android. We tried several different approaches to put our youtube-dl python wrapper on the Android app and for now we know what not to do, but we have some clever solutions planned.

jlibtorrent 2.0. There’s significant work to be done with our JLibtorrent project, the libtorrent engine Java wrapper that empowers all the bittorrent downloads on FrostWire across all platforms as well as many other bittorrent clients in the network.

The libtorrent project has now released its 2.0 branch and it seems to be very stable, it features new merkelized Bittorrent 2.0 torrents and lots of other new technology that we don’t want FrostWire users to miss-on and which will enable us to build next-gen torrenting features.

***

We are also working on growing our community, we’re hoping to be able to start modernizing the user interface of our desktop client to be web-based, this will be done with a pilot parallel project, we don’t want to make anybody angry who’s already happy and doesn’t want the battle tested FrostWire user interface to change.

This is a project we had already embarked on around 2018 but things went sideways with Google Play and we had to layoff the entire team back then.

***

Another big and impactful goal is to simplify .torrent publishing and decentralizing .torrent indexes to circumvent all censoring efforts of torrent indices, this is a missing piece of the bittorrent ecosystem we’ve dreamed of building for years and 2021 should be the year to make it happen with your help.

***

Starting with 6.8.8 we have stopped monetizing our desktop installers completely. For months we’ve already been offering a bundle free mac installer and windows installer on github and sourceforge, we believe a nag free experience is one of the best incentives for community growth, a clean open-source free software experience supported by you.

What’s been done in 2020

Lastly we wanted to let you know all of what we’ve done this year for Android, Desktop and for our JLibtorrent project.

If you find FrostWire useful, if it’s made your life any better and if it’s within your means, please consider donating to the project for its continued existence and growth in 2021.
If you can’t afford to donate, please share FrostWire with all your friends and continue to share, the more the merrier.

We hope you find value in our work and we’ll try our hardest to earn your contributions, we strongly believe that if we deliver a world class software you find useful, there should be enough users and open source projects out there that care enough to help us keep going with a small donation every month, perhaps the same as buying us, your friends, one cup of coffee every month, ideally without ever needing to tap into the nasty advertising-industry.
