Feb 10, 2006 I upgraded my OS to 10.4.4 and tried to open limewire(the version that comes before 4.10.5) and it would bounce on my dock a few times then not open. I installed the latest version of limewire (4.10.5) and it still does the same thing and won't open. LimeWire was a free peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) client for Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris. LimeWire used the gnutella network as well as the BitTorrent protocol. A freeware version and a purchasable 'enhanced' version were available. BitTorrent support is provided by libtorrent. On October 26, 2010, U.S. Federal court judge Kimba Wood issued an injunction ordering LimeWire to prevent.

LimeWire Basic Editor's Review
LimeWire is an Open Source client for P2P (Peer-to-Peer) networks such as Gnutella.This program is a cross-platform file sharing utility. It's called cross-platform because it's Windows and Linux compatible. In fact, LimeWire has actually both Windows and Linux versions.
Limewire For Mac Os X
The application is easy to use. After installing it, you can start searching for files that you want to download.
The support for downloads is well implemented. It can do 'swarm' downloads, like other multithreading download protocols, for example BitTorrent. In fact, LimeWire has the support for the BT protocol and it can be used as a BitTorrent client. The full support for multiple peers is available only for the users of the Professional version though.
The search support is well structured. It has metadata search capabilities, so a search query would return more than filenames and lengths.
The connection to the network is made through Gnutella Web Caching System, or short GWebCache. This is a simple and powerful Web based distributed host caching, which supports the Gnutella network.
Limewire Mac Os X
The application also has the support for 'Magnet Links'. A magnet link allows you to access the Gnutella network by clicking a link on a Web page.
The 'Preferences' panel of this application has a wide variety. It gives you various options that can modify the behavior of the application. In order to fine-tune the application, some knowledge is required.
Pluses: it gives you the possibility to share and download files across P2P networks, it is free with no adds, it doesn't have 3rd party software within the install package unlike other P2P clients, it can be used as BT client.
Drawbacks / flaws: this is a beta version so it might have some unexpected surprises, the free version has fewer functionality than the professional version.
In conclusion:
