Thaw
What is Thaw?
Thaw is a filesharing utility and upload/download manager. Thaw's goals were firstly to provide a user-friendly, cross platform interface to the built-in Freenet download manager engine (replacing an older Windows-only tool called FUQID), and secondly to evolve into a complete file sharing application via sharing file indexes. The first goal has been 100% fulfilled and Thaw is now the preferred tool. The second goal has been partially achieved; Thaw has already working functionality for searching file indexes, but all the wanted functionnalities are not yet implemented. (thanks sanity for this great description :)
It is being developed by
Jflesch (Jerome Flesch)∞. This project was initially started as a

Currently, Thaw does more than just uploads and downloads. It's provided with plugins to watch your peers list, or even to chat on Frost boards.
