LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing
client for the Gnutella network. It is free software released under the
GNU General Public License.
FREE MOVIES AND MUSIC DOWNLOADS
Lime Wire.com 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.

Lime
Wire LLC, the developer of LimeWire, distributes two
versions of the program; a basic, free version, and an enhanced
version (LimeWire PRO) sold for a fee of US$18.88, or available to
download from Lime Wires itself, which the developers claim offers
faster downloads.
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. |

Among other things, LimeShop monitored
online purchases in order to 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.
Being open source, LimeWire has spawned several free forks,
including LionShare, an experimental software development project at
Penn State University, and Acquisition, a popular 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 Lime Wires open source
contributors have forked the project and called it FrostWire. The
FrostWire project has a beta release, which is claimed to be
equivalent in power to the paid version of LimeWire. The FrostWire
developers emphasize that they will never place any sharing-related
restrictions on the client.
