FrostWire has moved from a Gnutella base P2P system to Torrent P2P transfer. The entire concept of sharing and how files are shared has changed. Back in the Gnutella world, you had folders that you could designate as shared and anyone on the network, theoretically, could find and access those files.

Gnutella was file based and you could designate which files you wanted to download. This is attractive for some applications, but along with technical problems of scalability, if you wanted to download a collection of data, naming the files one at a time could be very difficult to impossible.

While torrents can share individual files, their true power is achieved by folder sharing. Entire folders and structures of folders can be shared with one simple torrent, allowing the downloading of gigabytes of data in complicated organizations to be achieved.

Hopefully, the following articles will help to clarify some of the resulting confusion.
