Software Update: FrostWire 5.2.7

Version 5.2.7 of FrostWire has been 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. The program 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. In this release, among other things, the search for files has become a lot faster and it is now also possible to listen to internet radio stations.
