What is FrostWire?

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 support for the BitTorrent protocol and a full blown media player.

New icon for App search results on FrostWire for Android

October 1, 2015 ~ Alejandro Martínez ~ Leave a comment

We noticed a lot of people thought the previous icon meant “Setting results” which didn’t make much sense.
Now You will be able to see this new icon on the search page, and my file screen on our next Android release.

We want your feedback! If you think that FrostWire needs any feature or any change, please let us know!

A New FrostWire for Android is Ready for Download!

September 6, 2015September 6, 2015 ~ Alejandro Martínez ~ 1 Comment

This new release has a lot of fixes (EZTV, BtJunkie search, torrents issues, crash on audio player), also we upgraded Picasso library for image caching and did a significant update to the jlibtorrent library that improves memory handling and avoids a DDoS attack on the network.

The update is currently being rolled out in stages to a small percentage of users on Google Play so that we can fix any newly introduced bug without impacting the majority of users.

If you feel like you can handle it you can download the installers of build 202 and SourceCode on GitHub for both FrostWire Plus and FrostWire Basic on github.com

Our latest FrostWire for Android release (6.1.4) has been the most stable ever

August 20, 2015August 20, 2015 ~ gubatron ~ Leave a comment

Thanks to our jlibtorrent library, a multitude of crash reports sent by you and a lot of personal feedback loops, our developer team has managed to produce the most stable FrostWire for Android release so far.

We’ll always have crashes, but our quality has improved dramatically with the jlibtorrent library. As you can see the graphic below, during these last weeks even though we have more users using the app daily the number of crashes reported has been kept to a minimum and every day we fix the new crashes that come in.
