## Reviews

### "LimeWire is working great as a file-share service - my real experience with clients" — 5.0/5

> **Marek** | *January 1, 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a professional video editor of unscripted TV shows for the biggest TV broadcasters I send preview files of my editing sessions to my clients for review.
I\`ve started using LimeWire for this purpose over month ago, and it\`s doing great\!

What I like most in LimeWire:

- easy to share links with my clients,
- 4TB is plenty for sending preview files for reviews,
- tracking downloads is great to have. Now I know if my clients even downloaded my work for reviews.

As for now I didn\`t use built-in AI tools, but it is good to have them just in case.
Specially music generator is a thing\!
> 
> **Cons**: - didn\`t noticed so far, but cons may be exposed later on.
> 
> Working great as a file-share service. 
Much better than WeTransfer, which was my first choice until I switch to LimeWire.

### "Initial impressions are good\!" — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *June 17, 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's got a really easy interface. I was able to share links with my colleagues who are really not tech savvy and they downloaded the files really easily.
> 
> **Cons**: The size limit on the free plan is a little restrictive although okay for the majority of things I was using it for.
> 
> I was previously using Sendbig until they got taken over by Limewire, who I only knew from the old P2P days. I was a bit cautious about signing up because of this but having used the free tier for a few days now, it's way ahead of the other free competitors in terms of upload speed, readiness of the file and the ease of sharing links with other people. I work with a bunch of people who really do not get on well with tech and even they have had no problems downloading the files easily and quickly.

> 
> **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.

          .
