LimeWire is a free peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) client for the Java
platform, which uses the Gnutella network to locate files as well as share
files. It also encourages the user to pay a fee, which will then give the user
access to LimeWire PRO. Recently LimeWire opened its own store. Being free
software, LimeWire has spawned several forks, including LionShare, an
experimental software development project at Penn State University, and
Acquisition, a Mac OS X–based Gnutella client with a proprietary interface.
Researchers at Cornell University developed a reputation management add-in
called Credence that allows users to distinguish between "genuine" and "suspect"
files before downloading them. An October 12, 2005 report states that some of
LimeWire's free and open source software contributors have forked the project
and called it FrostWire. The makers of the LimeWire software have now installed
a security device that can track most viruses in files.
LimeWire was the first file sharing program to support firewall-to-firewall file
transfers, a feature introduced in version 4.2, which was released in November
2004. LimeWire also now includes BitTorrent support, but is limited to 3 Torrent
uploads and 3 Torrent downloads, which coexist with ordinary downloads.
Written in the Java programming language, LimeWire is able to run on any
computer with Java Virtual Machine nothing installed. Installers are provided
for JAva Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Support for Mac OS 9 and other previous
pages was dropped with the release of LimeWire 4.0.10. From version 4.8 onwards,
LimeWire works as a UPnP Internet Gateway Device controller in that it can
automatically set up packet-forwarding rules with UPnP-capable routers.
LimeWire offers the sharing of its library through Lime Wire LLC, the New York
City based developer of LimeWire, distributes two versions of the program; a
basic version for free, and an enhanced version, LimeWire PRO, sold for a fee of
$21.95 with 6 months of updates, or $34.95 with 1 year of updates. The company
claims the paid version provides faster downloads and 66% better search results.
This is accomplished by facilitating direct connection with up to 10 hosts of an
identical searched file at any one time, whereas the free version is limited to
a maximum of 8 hosts. Prior to April 2004, the free version of LimeWire was
distributed with a bundled program called LimeShop (a variant of TopMoxie),
which was considered by computer security experts to be spyware.[citation

redirect sales commissions to Lime Wire LLC. Uninstallation of LimeWire would
not remove LimeShop. With the removal of all bundled software in LimeWire 3.9.4
(released on April 20, 2004), these objections were addressed.
