Sorry for the inconvenience to Lollypop users, not sure how music playback was broken, a last minute bug must have slipped in our last release. In any case, here’s a new installer that resolves music playback issues for all Lollypop releases.

FrostWire is a free, open source BitTorrent 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 BitTorrent support. In version 5, Gnutella support was dropped entirely, and FrostWire is only a BitTorrent client. Development of the program has been active since the program was first released in September 2004.
