FrostWire is an application of type P2P or Peer-to-Peer, characterized by having been designed for the network Gnutella without losing sight of the fact that it is an open-source system, so using it is completely free. Of course, one of the first things that users will notice once they have installed it on their computers is that it is a system very similar to Limewire, both from an aesthetic point of view and in terms of its functions.

Well, we began by pointing out certain aspects in common that LimeWire and our protagonist of today, FrostWire, could have. Unlike the former, we should point out that the latter does not have annoying advertisements or pop-up windows that affect our vision or make us waste time when we want to download content. However, the simplicity of use is a factor both have in common, and you should not lose sight of it.

As soon as you run the program on your computer, you will find a search bar at the top and then a division by categories, so everything is clear, even for users who may be considered novices. You can also import all kinds of content, from other applications to video files, images, or music.

Another detail we liked about FrostWire is that it has a button that shows us the latest news appearing in content or the most shared by other network users. More than once, we have had access to engaging content this way, so we recommend you look at it from time to time to stay informed.

The Direct Connect option is undoubtedly another of the features that most users appreciate about this application, since thanks to it, just by knowing the IP address of a friend, you will be able to see all the contents they have shared. If you want to share files with a particular person, this tool will allow you to do it quickly and safely.

Continuing with the elements integrated into FrostWire that result in a much better experience than some competitors can offer, we must also talk about its media player. Thanks to this, you can preview all the audio and video content. At the same time, they are being downloaded, allowing you to save a considerable amount of time and avoid unwanted downloads.

At the same time, when the downloads start to take place, this platform will allow you to filter some specific files so that they do not remain with the others, trying to avoid all kinds of problems. To give you an idea, it has a system that can recognize when downloading content marked as only for adults or those with copyrights and could get us into trouble, of course.

And suppose to all this we add that FrostWire can download content several times faster than other applications that are part of the same segment. In that case, we can be sure that few alternatives are at the height of this program.

FrostWire's interface also gets a pass, considering it bets on a predominantly white environment and a blue top bar containing the main menus we can access. Visualizing the files we are downloading and those waiting in the queue is very comfortable, so we can't help but praise its design and modern aesthetics.

If we had to highlight the main positive features of FrostWire, we would have to talk about some of them in particular; for example, since it is open source, not only do we not have to pay for it, but also it doesn't have integrated advertising. At the same time, it will allow you to establish direct connections with all your friends, and it has an integrated multimedia player, so you don't have to open others. Finally, it is appreciated that it allows you to filter specific files because it considers that they are only suitable for adults.

On the other hand, as for the aspects that we liked the least about FrostWire, we have to say that it is one of those programs that try to sneak other content when we proceed to install it. In this case, it is the Ask.com toolbar, which is a bit annoying, so you can try to remove it as soon as you have finished downloading this P2P application.

Our summary then indicates that FrostWire is a P2P type tool, similar in many ways to the disappeared LimeWire, which for users, will undoubtedly become a replacement with excellent features. It is difficult to find better options for any open-source platform that performs the tasks for which it was developed very well.
