Even stuff that was impossible to get in stores. ✅ Simplicity It was easy to install and use. Just type the name, click Search, and files would flood in. For a lot of people, it was their first experience with peer-to-peer file sharing. > > **Cons**: Fake or mislabeled files You’d think you were getting a song or a movie, but it was either corrupted, something completely different, or in some cases, inappropriate content. > > LimeWire was honestly a game-changer for me in the early 2000s. It made it so easy to find and download almost any song, movie, or software I could think of. The feeling of searching for a track and watching it slowly download was exciting—like a treasure hunt. ----- ### "Great in everything" — 5.0/5 > **Aurelio** | *June 24, 2025* | Market Research Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Speed, price, friendly user platform, security. A great platform to securely manage your important files > > **Cons**: No Cons, all Pros. Highly suggested, best bang for your bucks in terms of file sharing. Great, appealing graphic as well\! > > I stumbled upon Limewire to have a different choice for uploads/downloads of files and immediately was a winner. Great memories too, me being an old user back in the days ----- ### "My Pros/Cons Using LimeWire" — 3.0/5 > **Seth** | *March 14, 2025* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked more about LimeWire was being able to download music, movies, and tv shows for free. > > **Cons**: It's download speed, security risks, and potential risk of malware. > > My overall experience with LimeWire was generally good. I have a Mac so luckily, I never got any malware. However, I sometimes experienced crashes and sometimes the files I downloaded weren't complete, were incorrect, or simply didn't work. ----- ### "LimeWire beating the competition." — 4.0/5 > **Jakob** | *May 22, 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a creative business owner, I've found LimeWire superior to WeTransfer, which has become less desirable due to its increasing popularity and limiting fetures. LimeWire's free tools simply outperform the competition. > > **Cons**: When uploading a folder, the contents are seperatly uploaded instead of the folder itself, which can be confusing when it has a lot of contens. ONE thing i would add is that an app would be a fantastic addition. > > This is really great and remarkably easy to use; I've found it helpful that I have it bookmarked in my browser for use, which ultimately makes the entire process quite fast and easy to complete whenever I need to. ----- ### "My very personal favorite" — 5.0/5 > **Mac** | *April 9, 2025* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Account? What account? No sign up to continue, no \*bs\* popups, just straight into a clean and speedy UI, fast U/D speeds, library that actually works. I don't need more to give it 5/5 . > > **Cons**: In terms of personal preference - I,d like to have the option to change the UI colors to dark grey\&red. In terms of LimeWire as a service - I have nothing to complain about. > > My experience is very positive and I don't say that often. What you get in exchange for not needing to sign up or deal with 5k popups and ads is just overvalue for money. I've never seen such allowances on any cloud (I've been juggling files for good 20yrs now). ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2079657/limewire?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2079657/limewire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
