-[[Image:ScreenshotFW-LW.PNG|thumb|Comparison of LimeWire and FrostWire in Windows Vista]]
-'''FrostWire''' is an [[open-source]] [[peer-to-peer]] ('''P2P''') [[file-sharing]] program.  It uses the [[Gnutella]] network and is heavily based on the better-known [[LimeWire]] program. FrostWire is almost an exact replica of LimeWire. It also recently included [[BitTorrent]] support.

-== History ==
+P.S sorry it's girl talk
-The project was started in [[September 2005]] by members of the LimeWire open-source community, after LimeWire's distributor considered placing "[[blocking]]" code which it was developing in response to [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]] pressure and the threat of legal action in light of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]'s decision in ''[[MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.]]'' When eventually activated, the code could block its users from sharing licensed files. FrostWire was first released in [[October 2005]].
-== Location ==
-{{Unreferenced-section|date=May 2007}}
-FrostWire is based outside the [[United States]], possibly to avoid legal liability. The FrostWire team has stated that they will never use "blocking" code similar to that which is used in LimeWire.
-== Programming Language ==
-As with Limewire, FrostWire is written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], and so is capable of supporting multiple platforms. LimeWire is available in both free and paid versions, while FrostWire is released only as a free version. The FrostWire program includes all of the free LimeWire version's  functionality, plus a few features of LimeWire Pro's fee based upgrade. FrostWire also provides a chatroom which is absent in LimeWire. FrostWire's interface is nearly identical to that of LimeWire's since it's based on the same code base, however, the color scheme is slightly different as is shown in the picture above. As in LimeWire, the FrostWire skin may also be changed to a variety of different colors.
-== Advertisements in Frostwire  ==
-As with version 4.13.1.7, advertisements can be found in the chat tab. For more information, see [http://www.frostwire.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5993&highlight=advertising#5993].
