toyo Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 <img src="http://www.nsanedown.com/images/logos/FrostWire.png" class="logo" alt="FrostWire" title="FrostWire" />FrostWire, a BitTorrent client (formerly a Gnutella client), is a collaborative effort from hundreds of Open Source and freelance developers from around the world. In late 2005, concerned developers of LimeWire's open source community announced the start of a new project fork "FrostWire" that would protect the developmental source code of the LimeWire client. The developers of FrostWire give high regard and respect to the GNU General Public License and consider it to be the ideal foundation of a creative and free enterprise market. FrostWire has evolved to replace LimeWire's BitTorrent core for that of Vuze, the Azureus BitTorrent Engine, and ultimately to remove the LimeWire's Gnutella core to become a 100% BitTorrent client that is simple to use.Thanks to <span style="color: red;">thylacine</span> for the update.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=1892385" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrVoice Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Without Gnutella, why would anyone bother continuing to use FW? That was literally its only selling point for me in the past. When it comes to a bittorrent-only program, I'd rather use something that's been around longer, like µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
