Description
LimeWire is a software tool that enables peer-to-peer file sharing on the Gnutella Network. Similar to the popular Napster service, it enables the sharing, searching, and downloading of MP3 music files. LimeWire also lets users share and search for all types of computer files, including movies, pictures, games, text documents, recipes, and more. Other features include the ability to push uploads and downloads, BearShare QHD compatibility, the ability to measure the speed of remote hosts and preview files while downloading, and a chat feature.
Version 1.8 has the ability to send and receive metadata queries for more precise category-specific searching, including the ability to search by ID3 fields for MP3s, and other metadata for video, news, and text files. The latest version also includes an integrated MP3 player with Winamp-style playlist support, the ability to view and filter audio search results by bitrate, and the ability to add category-specific information to your files to make them more easily searchable.
