    EDITOR'S RATING

    Softpedia Editor's Review for FrostWire

    A free offspring from LimeWire to create a Gnutella client that does not filter any content

    Written by Elena Opris on November 11th, 2011

    FrostWire is a file sharing client, so it's useful for uploading and downloading data from across the world.

    Once installation finishes, you will enter the setup wizard, where you can configure language, the torrent data save folder, and your chat nickname.

    The user interface is quite friendly. Here you select the search engines (ClearBits, Mininova, ISOHunt, BTJunkie, Extratorrent, Vertor, The Pirate Bay, or Monova), file type (all, documents, programs, audio, video, images, or torrents), after which you type in the name of the file you're looking for, and press enter.

    Results are displayed almost instantly. You can view the size of the file, source, the date it was created, quality and extension type.

    By right-clicking a result, you have the option to buy the item online, download it, partially download it, copy magnet and hash, or repeat the search with that exact result.

    The downloading speed is very generous.

    In addition to searching for something, you can access a library in which you can organize files, another section in which you can transfer files to phone and tablets, and a place where you can chat with other users (unfortunately, this feature didn't work in our case, due to network problems).

    When FrostWire works, CPU and memory are heavily used, even if the application is not active. So, prepare to shutdown any other online activity you may be doing.

    In conclusion, FrostWire is a great file sharing system that enables you to easily find and quickly download various files found online, and many users would be very happy using it.
