CEO Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Old Name, New Service" February 6, 2025 5.0 I turned to LimeWire because other platforms had started charging quite high amounts for occasional users like me. I was very pleasantly surprised, as it was super easy to use, and all the files I sent have been safely received. Pros It is very easy to use – you just drag and drop and there are multiple ways to send a link. Cons Nothing, it's great. I found it confusing for a while and I kept adding to existing files I'd sent, but when I realized my mistake (there's a big DONE button) it was fine. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Prices went up suddenly and I don't use the service enough to justify it, but just enough to be in the pay bracket.

Field Service Technician Computer Hardware Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LimeWire; Still Kicking Strong" February 18, 2025 5.0 Overall I give the Basic LimeWire plan a 7 out of 10 with an EASY upgrade to a 9 on the paid plan. Pros It is just convenient. LimeWire is spyware-free, utilizes discreet and unobtrusive ads, with an excellent interface, decent online AND cross-platform support. oh. and the best part?- It's free! Cons LimeWire Basic(Free) intntionally limits your search results and this does not include duplicatd results. And honestly, to me, this is just a reasonable incentive to vye for the paid version since the UI is so clean. Review Source AG Anthony G.
