What is Frostwire file sharing?

(Remember to Vote Best Answer so we keep helping)

FrostWire is a Java-based file-sharing program used with the Gnutella and BitTorrent protocols. It is a branch of LimeWire, which is another Gnutella client that offers both free and paid versions. FrostWire, on the other hand, is a completely free program released under the GNU General Public License. FrostWire is also ad free, and does not contain download restrictions like the free version of LimeWire.

Frostwire, yet another P2P application is open source and easily available from its official website. The software contains built in search feature using which a user can search for several file formats including .AVI, .mpg, .jpeg, etc. Unlike torrent clients, Frostwire users need not to spend several hours in hunting torrent files of their desired applications. On the contrary with the help of search feature users can specify the name of the file they want to find in the search box and once the files are found they can download them directly from the interface. However, the application also supports torrent files and when installed it automatically associates .torrent files with itself. In all, the application offers straightforward user interface which is easy to use and quickens the download process at the same time.

FrostWire

Pros

Users can specify the maximum upload and download bandwidth speed.

Users can also specify the number of concurrent downloads that the application will allow.

Chat facility is available in the application.

Even if any media file is not completely downloaded, users can use preview feature to check the quality of the file.

Cons

Frostwire requires a shared folder on the user’s local PC which can expose the machine to the hackers and make it vulnerable to the malicious attacks.

Make sure you have active protection from antivirus scanner/software, like I use malware bytes and Vipre premium. You don't know the legitimacy of the stuff you are downloading, you are lets say trusting strangers.

The US supreme court ruled that Companies who made the songs or software (band labels/record labels/game software/program software), all have the right to upload their products to the internet and add malicious code (add viruses or malware) as to deter users. Yes believe it or not, I just read this the other day was lawed in 2001.

Any kind you want.

Frostwire is a bit of a major backdoor into your system though. You'd be better off with a torrent client, and to make it double safe, set up a "torrent box" running Debian instead of Windows.

Well
