Software review :
FrostWire, by definition, is a fork of LimeWire, the well known and popular peer to peer (P2P) file sharing program. With this P2P application, you can share any type of files on Bittorrent and Gnutella network. It was developed by the members of LimeWire open source community in order to keep the freedoms when you are using this kind of software that LimeWire LLC may be forced to withdraw. With FrostWire you can download the latest software, movies, documents, music and alot of other files. Also, FrostWire can be installed on Mac and Windows and it has the following features like: Bittorrent support, chat rooms, connects to more sources, turbo charged download speeds, firewall to firewall transfers, maximum speed network connections, iTunes integration, support for proxy and many other features that you will discover when you will download FrostWire and start using it.
Editor's review :
Being a fork of LimeWire, FrostWire is based on the same source code and it has the same functions so if you want to try this Bittorrent/Gnutella client, it will be easy to install and use it if you used LimeWire before FrostWire. When you will use the search option and search for a file, the results will be the same if you were using LimeWire and the same results when you will use FrostWire. The source code may be identical ( almost ) but the main differences that I observed between those two programs can be the interface that has changed from green color to blue color ( interface has some new improvements ) the tabs are now rounded at their corners, a built in community with you can chat anytime and many other features that you will discover.Some users have experienced faster downloads when they used FrostWire ( compared with LimeWire ) while others encountered slower download times.
In other words, in my opinion, besides all of this small differences between them, I think that FrostWire ( when compared with LimeWire ) offers the same options like LimeWire PRO version has to offer. So, the difference is simple - FrostWire has the same features like LimeWire PRO but FrostWire offers you the features for FREE and LimeWire PRO for a small amount of money.

It is your decision if you wish to opt out or not. Our advice when you will use FrostWire is to use a good antivirus software and also a good anti spyware, adware, malware application that can scan your system and detect such applications that are being designed to harm your computer or even compromise it. Make sure to use a decent antivirus and keep it updated.
