FrostWire is an open-source peer-to-peer file sharing program that is heavily based on the better known LimeWire program. Frostwire was created by members of the LimeWire open-source community after LimeWire’s distributor finally implemented a code that would block its users from sharing unlicensed files.

For those of you that have used LimeWire, FrostWire won’t be anything new, besides the fact that the “Turbo-Charged Connection,” a feature that you had to buy for LimeWire, is available for free on FrostWire.

FrostWire also recently added the compatibility for BitTorrent. Although I won’t be using FrostWire to download most of my torrents, I have tried it and it works perfectly.

Other than those two things, FrostWire is basically an exact copy of Limewire. However, there are small extras that some might find useful like the ability to set a specific download location based on the type of media being downloaded.

So far, FrostWire has been working perfectly for me and I highly recommend that anyone that uses LimeWire immediately switch to FrostWire.
