The fast process delivers results very quickly. > > **Cons**: This service is not well known to customers. It is hard to convince them to use it. I think it won't be much problem once they use and experience it. > > While there's room for improvement in some areas, LimeWire represents a successful reinvention of a once-controversial brand into a legitimate and useful creative service that continues to evolve with regular updates and new features. ----- ### "Ease of use, lack of mobile app" — 5.0/5 > **Fil** | *21 April 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Im a photographer - The ease in uploading and sharing photos to my clients > > **Cons**: If anything, its just a lack of an app to quickly access files while out and about > > I find that it is a simple and easy interface, and it has a lot of options for sharing. ----- ### "The Classic for Audio Management" — 4.0/5 > **Dana** | *9 May 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Limewire is currently and has always been my favorite way to download music. I love how there is a comprehensive library to download from and super easy to transfer downloads over to something such as iTunes or however else you manage your music/film files. > > **Cons**: With there being such such a comprehensive library to download from, sometimes that means you truly need to search through files to find exactly what you're looking for. > > I have been using LimeWire for years. I love being able to search for specifc audio files and add them to my library. Its super easy to use and the application has in depth "how-tos" ----- ### "The resurrected LimeWire is one of the top in its field. Period." — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 May 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So I've used different storage services before in the past, like Mega and Google Drive, but I find that LimeWire is a very unique service that provides certain things that these two do not. For example the amount of data that I can store here and the ability to quickly link and share it is a very powerful tool that allows me to better others in my daily life. Sometimes I write PDF files that respond to people's trauma or different things that occur in their lives, so by using a service like limewire, and Limewire in particular for its many benefits and advantages, over other competitors. I also work systems administration, and the system that they use for security is very thorough. Each file is cryptographically hashed so that it's secure and safe and unable to be shared with others unless if they have the link specifically. That's a very powerful thing to have. That means that I can directly respond to survivors and abuse victims, and respond in a way that is safe and encrypted for them and their messages and what we have to respond with. Thus this is why I like LimeWire in particular. > > **Cons**: It doesn't really have any cons from what I've seen. I've noticed that it runs pretty well and the download speed is pretty decent, especially for a free service that required simply a Google login. That's very powerful for me, because it means I can respond to a few hundred people every few weeks instead of just dozens. That's amazing. > > I have to rate My overall experience with LimeWire to be a 10 out of 10. I have found no flaws in the program, it has safety and encryption, the account security is on par, and I feel that my data will be saved for years if I need to be an accessed at any time. That's pretty awesome. ----- ### "Already sold, just need to fix up a couple things..." — 3.0/5 > **Bob** | *4 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free, the interface is nice, and they give you a generous free file size limit of 4GB. Plus it's all legal content now, as they filter out the bad things that used to plague the platform. > > **Cons**: You can't customize the shared files link, they don't give you direct download links (links that will download the file as soon as the webpage loads), you need an account for most things, uploading is kinda slow sometimes (could just be my internet though), you need credits to use the AI features (surely having some basic ones for free wouldn't hurt, right?), but despite all the grievances I have here this is a very nice platform\! It seems they've turned over a new leaf, and this is cracking guys\! > > It's a nicely interfaced website with easy-to-use features and good sharing options. Despite missing some functionality to separate it from the competition, LimeWire is actually quite nice\! ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1073008/LimeWire?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1073008/LimeWire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
