Note: This app will no longer be updated, its repo disappeared.Search and download files from the BitTorrent network and share files with other
FrostWire users on the same local network (via WiFi). Frostwire can also be
installed on the desktop.
The non-free Google Admob library in the source code has been replaced with a
library that does nothing. The presence of even more proprietary libraries in
newer versions means that there are unlikely to be further updates of this app
in the F-Droid repo.
Anti-feature: Tracking. The app checks for new versions of the app without the
user's consent. The update won't work however, because it is signed with a
different key to these apks.
Anti-Features: NoSourceSince: Upstream source for this app is no longer available. Either the app went commercial, the repo was dropped, or it has moved to a location currently unknown to us. This usual means there won't be further updates unless the source reappears.Tracking: The application tracks and reports your activity to somewhere – usually either without your consent, or by default (i.e. you’d have to actively disable it). It’s commonly used for when developers obtain crash logs without the user’s consent, or when an app is useless without some kind of authentication.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
