Review:

Developed on the basis of LimeWire, FrostWire is a completely free P2P File Sharing client. Accessible, sure and without pop-ups, it is one of the cleanest customers of the moment to download files. Big News! FrostWire now supports all BitTorrent protocols.

Easy and convivial. Whatever the file and its format, research is facilitated by the presence of only one clone of LimeWire and divided search bar of categories. Very easy. The software also lays out of a What’s new button to discover in a click the most popular and new files of the moment.

Another innovating option, the possibility of connecting itself Direct Connect at an address IP. Impeccable to exchange files directly if you know your friend’s IP. But a little snag here is that it should also accept username to connect directly, much simpler than looking for IP addresses. The presence of filters makes it possible to parameterize the software to avoid the copyrighted contents, the files for adults, the formats prone at the risk (.zip and other files etc). As the file is charged, you will be able to obtain a preview in the integrated media player to know the quality of the file before downloading.

FrostWire is one of the best ad-free and most attractive of the remaining P2P clients.
