Email me when someone replies to this comment. Since years the time is over for p2p - my opinion. I have been using Frostwire for years and have been happy, However, I launched Frostwire this morning and it notified me that there was an update available.
So I clicked update and it proceeded to download the App which was about 50mb. Twice as large as the normal download I then was prompted to run the installer which I did. Al of a sudden I was notified by Drive Genius that there was am addition to my startup items and that Mackeeper had been installed. Also a larger window opened up and wanted to perform a MacKeeper scan.
I removed the software immediately and will no longer use Frostwire again. Any software that installing MacKeeper without asking for permission is deplorable. Be aware of the update to new version feature.
Michael-Vilain May 11 I emailed the developer and they were very defensive about it. It's just Google is saying we're distributing it. I downloaded 6. Aargl Jan 19 Aargl Jan 13 Also still crashing on quit, occasionally. BradMacPro Nov 12 Requirements are not correct. Frostwire 5. Zicola Nov 11 Aargl Oct 11 The "crash on quit" bug has returned with version 5. WDS Oct 3 This latest version, 5.
The last version which ran fairly reliably under Snow Leopard was 5. Color me disappointed. WDS Aug 13 Crashed on launch under Snow Leopard Aargl Nov 28 Well it's far from being perfect, but I could find some rare old stuff not re-released on CD, thanks to it! Browsing Youtube and extracting the audio for you is definitely a great feature! Bad things: weird behaviour if you resize the window, and crashes on quit.
Actually, I seem to have found a little trick to avoid crash on quit: close the main window first then quit! PinkyDinky Sep 25 I think I am first here to give it 5 stars! But oh well! I am not a super savvy torrent person, but I get the concept. I like that FrostWire let's me download just a few files from a big torrent. I like that I can download from YouTube and Soundcloud too!
I like that I first get to search and then narrow down my search results by audio or video or torrent. I like that all my music goes directly to iTunes, although I do find myself using the FrostWire player more often [still little buggy] I don't like the chat - feels like something I would use in high school 10 years ago!
I don't like that the software closes for a long time. But I guess these are not a big deal. Utter garbage and still slow and clunky using java. Macs-Pain Mar 10 This sucks. With version 5. Wow, I didn't know people were still using bittorrent. There are far better ways to get whatever movie or file you want without the risk of being sued and without relying on the snail slow speeds of seeding.
Am I bragging? You betcha! It's fine for what it does, but without encryption control, stay away from this thing. Use Vuse with manually forcing it off public channels or Transmission with full encryption and manually searched torrents.
Naoh Aug 25 I guess it makes sense to become BitTorrent clients, as that is the only peer-to-peer file sharing system with any kind of claim to having a legitimate purpose. LizBo Aug 25 I wonder how long this will last.
With LimeWire's fate sealed by the courts for copyright infringement I hope Frostwire, xtorrent and Acquisition are all next on the USA hit list for similar fates. None of these three copycats deserve to be around. Libertyforall Jul 27 Where does it say on frostwire. This is the main download linked -- clearly not a beta Sgginc May 6 About Frostwire shows version 1. SickTeddyBear Mar 30 The last PPC compatible version was 4. Holypoly Mar 30 New in 4.
No more flickering. Overlays are now shown in an animated slideshow. More than 2 artists can now be promoted. Mojito DHT is now active. This program does have uses. If you use just the torrent search, all sorts of possibilites are there. Blueshead50 Dec 16 I also like to beat a dead dog..
Which this app is.. Crazy-Larrry Sep 30 Garbage is as garbage gets. Ripoff of Limewire and a sad attempt at it too. Most people who use the Android version turn to it for the name recognition as well as the overall simplicity of the app.
Find out more on the BitTorrent website. There is a separate website set up for community translation assistance , however. Vuze has been around for some time and its frog symbol is highly recognizable at this point. Current users enjoy its ease-of-use and interface, while it has a fairly standard set of features for torrent users. Unlike some of the options, Vuze also has a torrent search and discovery option, as well as Wi-Fi-only settings that prevent it from using up precious mobile data allotments.

WeTorrent is offered up by developer Tap. The biggest feature it lacks is a search or discovery function for torrents, so users will need to source their torrent files elsewhere for download.

You can control every aspect of your torrent download, even down to banning connected peers and viewing network activity. Similar to WeTorrent and a few other options on the list, there is no search function for torrent or magnet links.

On September 27, , FrostWire updated its website to state that its development team would be closing shop on the project. In a blog post posted to their WordPress site , the team explained that the primary reason for their decision was because Google had removed their app from the Google Play Store. FrostWire countered to Google that this is technically impossible, as the FrostWire app cannot host content. According to FrostWire, 80 percent of its users are now on Android, making it effectively impossible for the team to continue reasonable operation and development without the revenue stream available through Google Play.
The team noted that the more recently developed centralized app store monopoly that Google and Apple create makes it effectively impossible to continue to operate if an app is removed.
Since that time, however, FrostWire came back online and it appears its app was returned to the Google Play Store. The service now appears to have a heavy focus on free-to-play music from music artists who have made their music available at no cost.
FrostWire itself a fork of the popular LimeWire tool, and was available to torrent users for over a decade. Is that good? I want the quality of the music to be very good as well. Please answer.
