  • Great to know things worked out 22GREEN!
    in v6.6.6 Need an expert after an hour searching internet- can't download at all. Comment by gubatron May 22
  • sounds very much like a firewall/internet protection software/antivirus issue. Make sure The Windows Firewall isn't blocking it, and check Windows 10/Defender for any possible white list to add FrostWire to.

  • please make sure you have the latest version of FrostWire (not uTorrent), and that you don't have internet protection software, firewalls or antiviruses blocking FrostWire from listening to incoming connections. Also make sure the file you're downlo…

  • you can download album covers and edit your music files but you will need to use another app to do that. Due to software patents this is a feature we cannot provide. If you're in windows 10, you can do this with the Groove Music player

  • Thank you for this most excellent feed back, we will implement it soon https://github.com/frostwire/frostwire/issues/702
    in ip filtering blocklist (iblocklist french hadopi) Comment by gubatron April 23
  • check how many "Seeds" the download has once it's started downloading. It might be that there's nobody online sharing the file, just leave the app open, or try downloading an alternative search result that has more peers seeding (aka sharing)
    in ***HELP*** Comment by gubatron April 23
  • We recommend PIA, ExpressVPN, and NordVPN. Not sure if they have software you can install directly on your router, my guess is that you'd have to manually set up the VPN server in there. Interesting that you want to do it at the router level, I'd ne…

    in VPN for My Router Comment by gubatron April 23
  • @Archway when you say "if a torrent was downloaded from say limetorrent", you mean that you downloaded the .torrent file using a browser and then opened it with frostwire right? If that's the case, it makes sense that FrostWire doesn't make another…
    in Torrent files not downloaded Comment by gubatron April 23
  • @skinux I believe @alexm didn't understand your question. I guess all you want is to keep downloading several search results without having to go back and forth between the search and transfer skins. There's a setting for this. Go to Settings &…

  • any luck @lilly654321 ?
    in No downloads on a public network. Comment by gubatron March 9
  • what version of FrostWire are you running @menacestag1 ? Please check your Internet Protection Software, some antivirus suites have Firewalls built in which might be blocking some of the sites FrostWire uses. Also make sure that FrostWire isn't be…
    in zero search results Comment by gubatron March 9
  • I clicked on frostwire in the taskbar, and guess what? The cpu usage spiked upto 27%, it was staying up. This happens because when you make the window visible the entire user interface is rendered and refreshed every 1 second, so it takes CPU. …

    in immediately crashes when "search" is clicked Comment by gubatron February 25
  • it might be that your search cache is way too big for your computer to handle. Go into Tools > Options > Searching > Smart Search Click on the button that says "Reset Smart Search Database" Then try doing one search at the time, you have…
    in Frozen or badly lagging on loadup Comment by gubatron February 24
  • you should check the Windows Firewall settings. If it's turned on, make sure it has FrostWire as one of the apps that's allowed to open connections. If this is not the case, maybe you installed some sort of internet protection app or antivirus tha…

  • can you show me a screenshot of the tool that says the app is using that much CPU. I've just run a java profiler on it, I was seeding 10 torrents and if I don't switch to the FrostWire window and let it be, CPU doesn't even touch 2% for me
    in CPU usage upto between 20%-30% Comment by gubatron February 22
  • even without the VPN indicator on? Every how often do you notice the CPU usage? Are you seeding any transfers?
