FrostWire is an open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing program for the BitTorrent protocol. Most importantly, it is a free application that can run on any computer with an internet connection. FrostWire requires minimal system resources.
Join millions of other file sharers and download unlimited music, movies, and games. FrostWire offers a vast selection of files, making searching quick and easy. Why pay for a service when you can get it for free?
This application is written in Java. Gnutella support has been dropped entirely, and FrostWire now only uses the BitTorrent network. This program allows you to send large files or complete folders to colleagues, friends, and family.

What’s New in FrostWire 7.0.2 :
- Fixes bug where seed counts disappeared from torrent search results wrapped in FileSearchResultUIWrapper
- Improves search result sorting, prioritizing keywords, then seeds/popularity, and avoiding irrelevant results on top
- Add a VPN-Drop protection checkbox to the status bar for quick toggle of BitTorrent pause when VPN is disconnected.
- VPN-Drop protection setting changes and dialog dismissals now properly update the status bar checkbox state.
- Extract VPN-Drop protection logic to VPNDropGuard.applyVPNDropProtection() to avoid code duplication.
- Use cached VPN status in VPNDropGuard to avoid repeated system-level VPN checks during setting changes.
- All VPN-Drop protection operations use BackgroundQueuedExecutor to prevent EDT blocking.
- VPN-Drop protection checkbox now compact with a smaller font and a clickable “VPN” link to the info page
- Add VPN-Drop protection check when starting new torrent transfers from search results (button, context menu, and batch download)
- Ensure VPN-Drop guard dialog appears when attempting to start new torrent transfers without an active VPN.
- Add VPN-Drop protection check when opening torrent files (.torrent files and magnet links from pasted URLs)
- Fix: VPN-Drop guard dialog now appears as expected when attempting to download torrents from search results.
- Compact UI layout: VPN status indicator and VPN-Drop protection checkbox now use minimal spacing for a cleaner appearance
