Description of LimeWire Basic
LimeWire is a popular peer-to-peer file sharing program using the Gnutella network that supports a wide range of languages and operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
The program features an open community of similar users (defined by interests, computing power, and bandwidth) to optimize search performance. You can run unlimited simultaneous searches for videos, images, documents, programs and audio and your results are displayed via a tabbed interface. A "Browse Host" tool is also useful to find more files that one particular person is sharing.
The program includes all the usual P2P program features including the ability to filter search results by file type, artist, size, bandwidth etc. You can also resume downloads, throttle upload bandwidth and you get a download library/manager. The latest version continues to include a swarm feature allowing you to download from multiple hosts to get your file faster.
LimeWire 4.10 and above introduces several new features including iTunes integration, firewall to firewall transfers and proxy support.
The developers state that this latest version is guaranteed to include no spyware or adware. When PC World tested the Windows installer on 06/02/06, we encountered no spyware or adware in our scans.
Note: The $19 Pro version offers faster downloads, e-mail support, a pro only skin and free updates for up to six months.
