FrostWire is a free Gnutella client based on LimeWire distributed under terms of the GPL . It was created in September 2005 after LimeWire LLC received a cease and desist letter.
FrostWire is a useful file sharing utility that gives you the possibility to transfer files from and to your computer.
The LimeWire open-source community then decided to create FrostWire, - a free offspring using the publicly available sourcecode from LimeWire to create a Gnutella client that does not filter any content.
Requirements:
- 128 MB RAM
- A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or later
- A live connection to the Internet
- Fixed searching to not stop early if many spam results arrive.
- Fixed checking for a live internet connection.
- Fixed downloading to try new hosts at the end of a download if the current
- one is going very slow.
- Fixed resuming incomplete files to scan the existing file for data, so that
- resuming may start with more than 0% downloaded.
- Added support for sharing video files via DAAP (to programs such as iTunes).
- Fixed so that some international characters do not cause errors when sending
- a search.
- Fixed search results so that if junk results are sent to the bottom and no
- column is sorted, junk results are still sent to the bottom.
- Fixed tooltips on search results so that the filename of each result isn't
- listed.
- Disabled Action URL Launching capability.
