History
The project was started in September 2004 after LimeWire's distributor considered adding "blocking" code in response to RIAA pressure. The RIAA threatened legal action against several peer-to-peer developers including LimeWire as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd..
The second beta release of FrostWire was available in the last quarter of 2005.
Since version 4.20.x, FrostWire can handle torrent files and featured a new junk filter. Also, in version 4.21.x they added support for most Android devices.
Since version 5.0, FrostWire relaunched itself as a BitTorrent application.
