🔗 frostwire-android-release-2.6.4-b713-plus.apk

Attention all Android users! The latest FrostWire release, version 2.6.4 build 712, is finally here and it is packed with amazing new features and improvements that will enhance your downloading experience. Whether you’re a seasoned user or a newcomer to the world of peer-to-peer file sharing, this update is definitely worth checking out.

One of the most exciting new features of FrostWire 2.6.4 is the 100x faster search results.

This means that you’ll be able to find and download the content you’re looking for much more quickly and easily than before. The SearchManager optimizations have made the search results faster, so you’ll be able to get your hands on your desired content in no time.

Furthermore, FrostWire now targets Android 13, which means that the app is fully optimized for the latest version of Android, giving you the best possible user experience. And if you’re a fan of BTDigg, you’ll be delighted to know that FrostWire has added it as a new search engine. Now, you’ll have even more options to choose from when searching for your favorite content.

In addition, the latest release has made some improvements to the okhttpclient thread pools, which will help prevent the app from exhausting your device’s HTTP connections. And while the Zooqle search engine has been removed due to the service being defunct, FrostWire has made up for it with other exciting updates.

FrostWire 2.6.4 also includes updates to several third-party libraries, such as python:yt_dlp-2023.2.17, com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.4, com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15, androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface:1.3.6, androidx.browser:browser:1.5.0, com.applovin:applovin-sdk:11.7.1, and com.applovin.mediation:unityads-adapter:4.6.0.0.

We went from jlibtorrent 1.2.3.0 onto 1.2.7.0 because we weren’t happy with how stable 1.2.4, 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 were, however the libtorrent 1.2.7 engine starts the downloads almost immediatly for decently seeded torrents and we’ve seen speeds above 7Mb/s on our testing environment.
