Frostwire is a torrent client with tons of features

There are lots of torrent clients out there all doing more or less the same job but with varying degrees of usability. Frostwire is one of the better offerings combining torrents with a handy media player and search engine. The main strength of Frostwire is having all your tools in one place making torrents more like a total media service than simply a download.

Strong features strong layout.

Frostwire was clearly built by people who download torrents and wanted to improve the process. The app layout is nice with navigation options and a list view to keep track of your files. In many ways it’s a media library as much as a downloading tool. Download settings and locations are fully customisable. The big features however are a media player which has all the same options as any standard player plus the ability to preview files before they finish downloading and in-app search. The latter lets you find torrents within the client instead of trawling the web. Very efficient but may get stuck if sites are blocked by your ISP.

The total package.

The real benefit of Frostwire is that it’s a complete package letting you find download and play files without having to switch windows or programs. However for those who already have their favourite browser and media setups this is just another torrent client.

FrostWire is the simplest yet most powerful p2p BitTorrent file sharing application & cloud file downloader in one.

With built in file search, you don’t have to use your web browser to look for content. FrostWire scans the most popular BitTorrent search engines & cloud sources to produce the most relevant search results, organized by projected download speed. You can filter your results by file type, search engine, file size and more. Download files with one click or pick and choose which files from a torrent package you would like to download.

In addition, FrostWire functions the same way other BitTorrent clients do, where you download a .torrent file from the internet and then open the application to download it’s content. You can even copy & past the .torrent or Magnet link into FrostWire’s search bar and it will download the content for you.
