Download FrostWire 5.1.5

Friday version 5.1.5 of FrostWire was released. FrostWire is a file sharing program written in Java for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Since version 5, it is no longer possible to download via the Gnutella network, but only via BitTorrent. It came about when Limewire, after which this program is modeled, considered adding code in 2005 that would allow copyrighted material to be banned. The installer comes with an Ask toolbar; so pay attention to what is checked when installing. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in FrostWire version 5.1.5:

• Bug fix on setup wizard for some window configurations where controls would not appear unless the user resized the window.
• Bug fix on keyword search filter, wrong keyboard event was being used.
• UX adjustment in the way transfers are sorted when the application is launched.
• UX upgrade where Search Field on the Library now reacts to the DELETE key.
• UX upgrade where the FrostWire left hand side components are laid out correctly after the user resizes the window from much smaller dimensions.

Changes in FrostWire version 5.1.4:

• Bug fix where it would not index torrents when the file type filter was in use.
• Bug fix when downloading a secondary file from the second torrent download would not start and would appear as seeding.
• Cleans all empty folders created by a partial download once the download is removed from the transfer manager.
• Fixes issue with transfer manager resetting the order of columns.
