Limewire ... spyware, adware or other bundled software. Compatible with all major platforms and running over the Gnutella network, LimeWire's open source code, is freely available to the public and developed in part by a devoted programmer community.

Newest Review: ... for free. You can end up paying a hefty fine as this isn't entirely legal. The Limewire program itself isn't illegal at all, it's the files that you download that are illegal due to copyright and such. Personally, I have been using this for months and have had no trouble. A way to ensure you don't get caught is to not share files yourself. If hundreds of people are downloading files from you ... more

 ... it's likely you won't stay anonymous for long, so if you decide to use Limewire, disable file sharing. This can be done in the options menu. In the end there's still that small chance that you could get caught, so really it's up to you whether you want...more

Premium Review Limewire: P2P sharing...free but risky! (670 words)
by - written on 24/08/09 (Very useful, 293 readings)
Rating:

Limewire is one of many free peer to peer (p2p), file sharing networks. It launched in 2000, became one of the biggest p2p networks on the world and is now available on 31 languages. It works when people seed files over the internet and then you can download it from them. You can download music, videos, programs and images, nearly everything at absolutely no cost at all. I first used Limewire so I could download songs to put on my iPod. It is great service because you can sync Limewire to your iTunes library. When you download a song it will automatically be added to you iTunes playlist. I find that they usually download fairly quickly and it doesn't usually ...  Read the complete review

Lime wire is a good way to get free music, but you must have good security on your PC as limewire is full of viruses and other harmful things to your computer. It is very simple and easy how you search for music and videos, If you don't want a specific song you can pick a genre and browse throw the songs in that category which i found very simple and fun to do. Once you have downloaded the songs that you want, you can then put them into itunes and put the songs onto your ipod, mobile phone and other music or video devices you may have. In my opinion limewire isn't that good, i used them for about 3 months and by the end i had 57 infected items on my laptop ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Approach with Caution! (255 words)
by - written on 07/07/09 (Useful, 321 readings)
Rating:

LimeWire has caused a lot of controversy over the years for a number of different reasons, illegal content, spyware, hackers, viruses, you name it, LimeWire has been accused of it! So, with this in mind let's begin to use LimeWire anyways! First things first though, you need to proceed with caution! The interface of LimeWire through every version of its history has been simple and easy to use, this of course is good! When you search for the likes of a mp3 song, you get a list of details that you can look at and change such as Name, Type, Size and Bit Rate. If used correctly, this is the easiest way of preventing yourself from downloading a virus, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Limewire - an iPod companion. (262 words)
by - written on 25/05/09 (Very useful, 100 readings)
Rating:

Limewire is a file sharing form of software that can be used to download mp3's and video's etc for your iPod or general multimedia colelction. There is no doubt that it has a wide variety of resoruces and it is almost certain to have any song available to download that you may desire. For games and video's however I have found the selection to be rather more selective. It is very easy to use and the setup and installation is easy to follow and self explanatory. It does offer fast downloads which is a major advantage when downloading files. It must be said that when files are downloaded I would recommend doing a virus scan. For music it is very ...  Read the complete review
