Also, my first impressions on digital media creation was overwhelmingly positive when compared to other expensive similar playforms that I previously used. Pros Access to a vast library of free movies, music and software. Also image editing and manipulation features are very user-friendly, very functuonal and the results are very fun to experience. Cons Since it is on it's early phases of adoption, the library is not very vast compared to other known file sharing applications but since it is growing very fast, soon this won't be a problem anymore.

Could use a little upgrade with sharing with nearby device and longer time files are uploaded in the site Pros I can share files whenever, wherever right away. And easy access to share the files Cons Limited file size to 4gb and limited access to days staying uploaded in the website Review Source PB Pieter B. Founder Graphic Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Better than WeTransfer." January 25, 2025 5.0 I really like seeing LimeWire back in the field. I even prefer using LimeWire's filesharing over WeTransfer now, because it is so much better. Pros Shared files stay online for free for 7 days. Cons It would be nice to try out the AI functions for free before subscribing. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) WeTransfer allows only up to 2GB per file and if you don't extend it yourself, the file stays online for only 3 days. And I always forget to extend. So my clients come knocking about files being expired. Review Source BF Becca F. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great Platform!"

Farmacêutico Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent user experience" May 18, 2025 5.0 Pros Having 4GB of free upload, dynamic expiration and knowing how many downloads have been made is a huge advantage compared to what I used to do previously. Cons So far I can't find anything negative about a free plan. However, more free upload data would be nice. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) limiting the amount of free upload data. Review Source AM Ariesha M.

After searching for days trying to find a filesharing platform that was easy and affordable (free) to try. LimeWire provided me with everything I needed. In fact I will be uploading another file to share today! Pros It was easy to use and my files shared perfectly Cons The files expired in 7 days on the free version. I would really like to see 14 or even 30. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Because it was more affordable and easier to use.

Content Creator Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Insanely Efficient & Easy To Use" June 22, 2025 5.0 Pretty nice! This is my 3rd or 4th time using it. I mainly have been using it to share files to other people. Pros It's super easy and quick to upload files from my PC. I'm not even a paid member, and the quickness of an upload to the site is extraordinarily quick. Cons That there is a 7 day expiration on uploads. I get it, they want you to upgrade! But, yea, this is probably the one thing I don't like about the site. Review Source LT Leton T. artist Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Layman recommended" April 22, 2025 5.0 i like that it feels very secure, stable as the uploads continue which is a great feature, and its easy to use which is great for new users. Pros uploads save where they are in the queue, and continue even if WIFI drops from where it has left off. Cons uploading system display and its hard if you upload in different stages on the same day.

Proprietor Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Limewire - Solid and simple file transfers and storage." February 4, 2025 4.0 Solid. This utility is simple and reliable. It doesn't try to be all things to all people and inundate me with complicated features. Pros I love the simplicity. It accomplishes the task of sharing elegantly and reliably. It might benefit from a way to better organize transfers, but I am nitpicking. Cons A search box might be nice... I would also like the option to be permanently logged in. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Simpler and more cost effective. As well, WeTransfer tended to break mp3 files when compressed. Review Source OA Olu A. Researcher Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My experience with LimeWire" May 31, 2025 5.0 LimeWire has exceeded my expectations and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. I highly recommend LimeWire to my family and friends. Pros LimeWire offers an exceptionally easy-to-use and intuitive interface. It also enables fast and reliable file transfers, supporting uploads of large files (up to 4GB for free), which is especially beneficial for professionals like me. Cons Upload speeds can sometimes be slow, which might be due to internet connection but can affect user experience. Additionally, it requires an account for most activities, which adds a step before use. Review Source AY Astri Y.

Pros the fact that it has a smart looking menu, and the color combination also. Cons there are some open loops when browsing through menus which make it impossible to go back through the initial menu.

Founder Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Limeware - share large files, convert anything to anything else and access the magic of AI." May 29, 2025 5.0 Very positive. Their free plan offers quite a lot of storage and heaps of free credits where you can do some really great stuff like edit your images with AI, with surprising good, even great, results. Their file conversion options are extensive to say the least and when I vectorized a quite complex graphic the result was amazing, allowing me to manipulate and edit text perfectly. Pros I can upload large files to share with friends, their AI tools are very extensive and first rate in quality of output and their regular tools for document conversion are also extensive. Cons So far, very poor documentation. You really need active tool tips or a chatbot that knows exactly where you are at and what options are available to you and can explain them. The options for some of their conversions in the advanced options are highly technical and you really need to be able to access help easily to decide what settings to use. Review Source MD Martin D. Content Creator Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "New Features are good." February 14, 2025 5.0 Pros I like the Share option to friends. Thats good for my work. Cons Is not so easy like snapdrop, i like the old easy variante more.
