Good functionalities. Love the ability to get the link before the upload finishes Cons Nothing really. The design is a bit boring. But it’s also classic lime wire Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Limited transfer possibilities also not many functions Review Source SN Sam N. Owner, Animator, Illustrator Animation Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Limewire, powerful AI tools that give back to the user, not just a file sharing application" December 9, 2024 5.0 The UI could be more straightforward, but once you get the hang of it the tools on offer are powerful. It's also a huge incentive to create when there 70% of the LMWR crypto each image generates goes to the creator. Other AI software tools fall way behind in this respect and it would be good to see this feature being adopted across the industry, though it seems unlikely. This would go further to strengthen the limewire brand. Pros The new AI tools are really good value, very useful for creatives. Also, the fact each generation has the potential to gain the user their LMWR crypto is a huge sell. It's a great idea that gives back to users and subscribers, it's a shame no other AI software application offers this feature. Cons It doesn't seem like you can trial the AI tools for free before committing to purchase some of their cryptocurrency in order to do that.

It gave people open access to music and media long before streaming platforms existed. While it had its flaws, it played a huge role in shaping how we discover and consume content today. It was messy, fun, and iconic - A digital pioneer in its own way. Pros I liked that you could find everything - from rare tracks and remixes to movies, books, and software. Cons The free version had too many intrusive ads, which made the experience frustrating Review Source TP Tai P.

Pros usability and ease of setup, was able to begin uploading around 30 seconds after creating account with google.

I will probably also recommend it to my colleagues since it's better than WeTransfer Pros Very fast and efficient I have used this app other times too and I like that it has high limit of GBS.

My experience so far has been extremely positive and productive. Pros The interface is dead-simple to use and very easy to look at. Uncomplicated but still good looking. The trial account is very generous but even the premium features are not mind-blowingly expensive. Cons I can't say there's much about the new LimeWire that I don't like. They did a good job with it.

I don't have any complaints Pros It is easy to use and I love the fact that you keep the data on file with a simple link to share it to multiple people if needed. Way easier to use than other platforms. Cons I don't have any cons unless you look at the limited time things stay. Alternatives considered [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Reason for choosing LimeWire WeTransfer was far too constrictive and difficult to use Review Source IA Ibrahim A.

Designer Fine Art Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Sharing Sensitive and Proprietary and Legally Protected Files Using Limewire" February 24, 2025 5.0 It's a great way to transfer files if your counterpart doesn't understand WhatsApp and using it. It is another alternative of Drive and email if you need to securely transfer huge and sensitive files. Pros Super easy to download huge files that are unable to be transferred via Drive or email... or even WhatsApp! Cons At first I was very concerned about downloading another file transfer program from the internet, but upon doing a little research, I realized this was a legit program and it has helped me.

Pros I like the fact that you can share up to 200 GB, which is a lot of data compared to what LimeWire's competitors offer. Cons Honestly, this service has no weaknesses that I could find. If it did, I certainly wouldn’t have written such a positive review. Everything works smoothly, and the features are well-designed, making it an excellent choice overall. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Because of the price and the limit storage Review Source Similar Products Featured
