Thaw For Mac

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 not all the wanted functionalities are implemented yet.

In more simple words, Thaw is basically a Freenet upload/download manager. Thanks to a series of plugins, it can be used to interact with other Freenet applications to provide node monitoring, Frost messaging, and other interesting features.

Thaw is written in Java, it runs wherever Java runs, and that means that almost any version of all the most popular operating systems: Mac OS X, Linux/Unix, and Windows.
