I have been using LimeWire for years. I love being able to search for specifc audio files and add them to my library. Its super easy to use and the application has in depth "how-tos"
Pros: Limewire is currently and has always been my favorite way to download music. I love how there is a comprehensive library to download from and super easy to transfer downloads over to something such as iTunes or however else you manage your music/film files.
Cons: With there being such such a comprehensive library to download from, sometimes that means you truly need to search through files to find exactly what you're looking for.

It has been very good overall. I’ve really enjoyed using the tool, especially for sharing files with other organisations. I would rate it 9 out of 10.
Pros: I like that we can see how many times a file has been downloaded when we send it. Another useful feature is the ability to set how long the file will be available before it is automatically deleted.
Cons: The tool has limited access under the free plan, which can be challenging compared to other tools like Google Drive. While it is similar to Google Drive, Google Drive offers a wider range of services. If all features were available for free, this tool could be even more competitive.

It's interesting, the tier also gives you certain amount of credits to use for trying their a.i. image editing platform
Pros: It is a fast platform, you can upload your files and every upload will be easy to share or access from any device.
Cons: It's not so friendly to edit the 'folders' that are created with each upload. The a.i. generative tool is just basic.
Isrohan A. · Photographer and Videographer · Media Production · March 19, 2026
Overall I have used Limewire for over 15 years and it never fails to be one of the best places to get any kind of music or videos from.
Pros: What I like most about Limewire is that I can burn Cds and put anything I want on them right from my phone.
Cons: What I like least about Limewire are the viruses that it can cause when using the product or app or when searching through it.
Alexis S. · Owner · Retail · February 19, 2026
So simple to use. Drag and drop, secure transfer and I know when it has been received and downloaded.
Pros: It handles large files that Google can't transfer, it's secure and really simple to use. I like the intuitive layout.
Cons: Nothing, really. I can transfer 4gb for free, and if I have bigger files, it's fair to pay for that.
Mike H. · Research and Development · Cosmetics · January 16, 2026
Fast upload/download. Smooth interface. Lots of options to customise the interface as well as the permissions associated with the download.
Pros: I was looking for a file transfer service that allowed me to send around 7GB of unedited video and photos to a client. This was fast and simple to use. The pro version removes file size limits and adverts.
Cons: No downsides to speak of. Cost is very competitive for the Pro version that allows large file transfers.
Alec E. · Drone operative · Photography · July 10, 2025
Amazing , time saved and easy to use , I use it for all the projects I make. I've even recommended it
Pros: Like wire is great, it's great sharing big projects with friends and family, I always use it, and it's free
Cons: Nothing about live wire is bad , it's great offers everything you need , it's fast , and offers bar code scan
Jacob P. · Musician · Internet · July 9, 2025
I remember likewise mostly from when I was young, downloading movies and music. But when my friend told me about this option, I loved the new way it works.
Pros: It's easy, fast and without too much limits. It works wonders for a photographer like me to send big files quickly.
Cons: In the beginning it was a bit unclear how it worked. And I would love to get a confirmation when someone downloads the files.
Ilse W. · Photographer · Photography · July 9, 2025
As explained in pros and cons. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Although I don't need to use the AI photo editing tools personally, I can see these come in handy for quick amendments if required.
Pros: As a photographer who often needs to share a large number of files, Limewire offers brilliant value. After using it for 4 months, I've not had any issues with uploading, storing, very easy to use for me and my clients.
Cons: Not really a con but Limewire is not yet as widely used or recognised yet compared to mainstream platforms like Dropbox, Google Drive, but time will tell!
Kin S. · Photographer · Photography · July 9, 2025
overall its great , its fast stable and secure . The best part is I can protect the files using a password which is crucial for commercial purposes
Pros: in its class it is one of the fastest file senders out there , the upload speeds are crazy fast , and it works on slow internet as well.
Cons: its website design I dont like , the green and white color scheme is not that good. it could use a better looking website.
Siddhartha K. · Fx artist · Animation · July 9, 2025
Pros: Absolutely love this software! It was Easy to use, reliable, and super efficient. Highly recommended!
Cons: Although software is fast, but it lacks basic features. Its good for just transferring files but beyond that it has limits.
Rahul A. · Director · Hospital & Health Care · July 9, 2025
I was very surprised when I saw Limewire, and nostalgia came right after. In the 90s, we used to use Limewire. Music listeners, DJs, etc. It was like a social network, we connected, exchanged information, learned how to configure it for better results, and shared what we could. At the time, there were many difficulties with internet connections. LimeWire helped us a lot. We spent many hours and nights online. Thank you, LimeWire team.
Pros: Easy to use, hassle-free, and very fast. I can easily upload a file and the link is available in just a few seconds.
Cons: Since I haven't browsed the page yet, what I use is very good. For everyone I send the page link to or who sends it to me to access, it always works very well.
Ricardo B. · DJ · Music · July 8, 2025
Brilliant, top notch, can't be better.
Pros: It enables you to send several Large files to several different email addresses, which is good, to say the least.
Cons: It's all good, nothing. No complaints, you product can't be improved, what more can I say.
william h. · Cameraman · Photography · July 8, 2025
Pros: It is super useful when you want to share temporary files with website assistances for example. Good design and intuitive to use
Cons: At the moment I did not find something that is actually a problem for the users. Pretty satisfied of it
Antonello B. · Assegnee · Computer Software · July 8, 2025
My overall experience with limewire has been great. Its alot of fun seeing what the capabilities of ai have progressed.
Pros: I like the different range of ai tools it offers. From the image editing to the music tools its all great.
Cons: There isnt anything that i can say i dislike about it. Its got an easy UI. Its pretty simple and straightforward.
Dylan O. · Owner · Graphic Design · July 6, 2025
I am quite happy to have found this AI tool for editing pics and even doing other great things like content creation
Pros: I made small videos to make my pictures feel alive. I was trying this tool and I was amazed to see how it turned out.
Cons: It was quick and beautiful conversion. The transitions were smooth, the flowing water didn't look like it was a pic initially.
Sushant A. · Consultant · Animation · July 6, 2025
LimeWire has become an essential part of my content creation process. The platform is stable, uploads are fast, and sharing files with my team is seamless. It eliminates unnecessary steps and helps us stay on schedule.
Pros: Ease of use, can quickly upload and share data with my video editor. The interface is clean, intuitive, and saves me a lot of time during post-production workflows.
Cons: Would love to see a sync tool that can mirror a folder locally on mac / windows. My editor would love it for his workflow.
Bogdan V. · Admin · Education Management · July 5, 2025
A fresh and more comprehensive remake of the "SendBig" website, I used earlier. Limewire is generally more reliable than "SendBig". I tried using the AI tools, but there seem to be restrictions. Glad if I could access these upon completion of this survey.
Pros: I like the quick transfer rate limewire offers as well as the reliable upload without interruptions. The filesize of up to 4GB is sufficient for my use.
Cons: I needed to get familiar with the new website, as I was used to the earlier "SendBig" website. There seem to be more features, like AI tools, that were not accessible during my last visit.
Konrad M. · Architect · Architecture & Planning · July 4, 2025
Great! I found the technology very easy to use and the files were very quickly converted to an email file which I downloaded onto my mac.
Pros: It was extremely easy to share files through their file-sharing platform. Sharing between an android phone and mac was previously extremely difficult, so this has made my life easier.
Cons: I wish there was an app available. I only used a browser version which seems a bit clunkier. Hoping one will be developed soon, if it is not already.
Damian C. · Student · Education Management · July 3, 2025
Other than the file expiration date of the file the website looks neat easier to navigate and easier to uploads your files
Pros: Easier user interface and full benefits and options for what i request such as uploading file and cloud saving
Cons: Once you upload a file you have 7 days until the file deleted if no one download it, they give you an option to make it stay permanently but you have to pay for the subscription ):
Mohamed B. · Trainer · Automotive · July 3, 2025
I’ve been using LimeWire for about a month to share fitness videos with a close group of friends. We just send a LimeWire link and call it a day. If you regularly send large media files to a small circle, LimeWire Pro’s generous limits and clean UI are a solid upgrade—just expect the occasional slow upload during peak hours.
Pros: Huge per-file limit means I can upload full-HD workout videos without compressing; friends just click a link. Drag-and-drop UI is dead simple, and uploads resume if my connection drops.
Cons: No native mobile app yet, so I still use the browser on my phone. Peak-hour uploads slow down a bit.
Zsolt G. · Software Developer · Computer Software · July 2, 2025
Has solved my problem of not being able to share files in chats, so I am very happy with my overall experience of Limewire.
Pros: Solves a common problem, being able to share files in chats and apps that don’t have file share. Was going to make my own version, but Limewire works great. Will be a staple in my digital arsenal.
Cons: I really don’t have any complaints other than the restrictions of the free version where the files arbitrarily expire. Looking forward to the pro version where this is not the case.
Zach d. · CEO · Defense & Space · July 1, 2025
I am very pleased with my experience trying LimeWire. It's my go to solution for "share and forget" projects with a short life span.
Pros: LimeWire is straightforward to setup. It does what it claims, make it possible to share large files instantly and it deletes it automatically later.
Cons: LimeWire is limited to 4 GB in its free version, which by today's standard is low. In comparison, Google is offering 15GB. In addition, Limewire (in its free version) will delete your files after a week which is not the case for Google.
Alain A. · Developper · Computer Games · July 1, 2025
LimeWire was honestly a game-changer for me in the early 2000s. It made it so easy to find and download almost any song, movie, or software I could think of. The feeling of searching for a track and watching it slowly download was exciting—like a treasure hunt.
Pros: Access to practically anything You could find every song, movie, software crack, or obscure remix you could imagine. Even stuff that was impossible to get in stores. ✅ Simplicity It was easy to install and use. Just type the name, click Search, and files would flood in. For a lot of people, it was their first experience with peer-to-peer file sharing.
Cons: Fake or mislabeled files You’d think you were getting a song or a movie, but it was either corrupted, something completely different, or in some cases, inappropriate content.
Youssef M. · Business administration · Marketing and Advertising · June 30, 2025
My overall experience is enjoyable and replicable. When I want to share a database or files with a colleague, I navigate to the website and get the job done without hassle. It’s as easy as that.
Pros: One thing I really like about this platform is how simple and easy everything is. The interface is sleek and intuitive, which makes it kinda fun to use. It’s just straightforward, no fuss.
Cons: I occasionally encountered difficulties with the free tier's file size caps, but it's understandable as access to more features comes with a cost.
