FrostWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing program for the gnutella and BitTorrent protocols. FrostWire is written in Java and is a fork of LimeWire, another popular gnutella client from which it was originally born. A few concerned developers of LimeWire’s open source community announced the start of a new project fork FrostWire that would protect the developmental source code of the LimeWire client and any improvements to the Gnutella protocol design. LimeWire is closed in the US in December 2010.
