FrostWire is a community driven project based on source code released by LimeWire LLC to create and maintain a Gnutella client according to the open standards of an international community.

We are busy building a website and creating a new design for the FrostWire Gnutella client. Since LimeWire is a registered trademark we cannot distribute the client under its old name.

For that reason, we are looking for creative p2p fans that would like to create skins, design logos or websites. However we are also trying to get more people working on the Java core, the interface and the C++ windows installer (based on GnucDNA and NSIS). If you are interested in maintaining LimeWire's legacy get involved!

We are trying to maintain good relations to the LimeWire project. The FrostWire team (all of whom are still members of the LimeWire open-source community) regrets LimeWire's decision to start filtering content on Gnutella.

However, we will continue supporting LimeWire development and do not wish to make fundamental changes to the LimeWire core itself. FrostWire will not break with LimeWire's design philosophy.

However the FrostWire project will never offer a PRO version. The FrostWire project will always remain strictly non-profit and free of any bundled software, including any ads or nags.

Requirements:

· Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Ads .wma and .au extension to the default excluded shared formats. Also they are filtered from search results by default to protect windows users from malicious installers invoked from Windows Media Player when fake .au and .wma are opened. This also gives preference to .mp3 content which has no DRM.
· Bug fix on Connection Doctor. It would continue to run even though FrostWire was already connected.
· Updated Adult Filter keywords.
· Fixes connectivity issues on Snow Leopard where FrostWire would not attempt to open any connections.
· Frostwire for Mac is now compiled with 64-bit JDK and it's backwards compatible with Leopard (10.5)
· Fixes compatibility issues with Snow Leopard for Mac users. you can free download FrostWire 4.18.3 now.
