| OS Support: | Mac OS X/Mac Universal Binary |
| License/Program Type: | Open Source |
| Publisher: | LimeWire |
| Price: | $0.00 |
LimeWire is an Open Source client for P2P (Peer-to-Peer) networks
such as Gnutella.
This program is a cross-platform file sharing utility. It's called
cross-platform because it's Windows and Linux compatible. In fact,
LimeWire has actually both Windows and Linux versions.
The application is easy to use. After installing it, you can start
searching for files that you want to download.
The support for downloads is well implemented. It can do "swarm"
downloads, like other multithreading download protocols, for
example BitTorrent. In fact, LimeWire has the support for the BT
protocol and it can be used as a BitTorrent client. The full
support for multiple peers is available only for the users of the
Professional version though.
The search support is well structured. It has metadata search
capabilities, so a search query would return more than filenames
and lengths.
The connection to the network is made through Gnutella Web Caching
System, or short GWebCache. This is a simple and powerful Web based
distributed host caching, which supports the Gnutella network.
The application also has the support for 'Magnet Links'. A magnet
link allows you to access the Gnutella network by clicking a link
on a Web page.
The 'Preferences' panel of this application has a wide variety.
It gives you various options that can modify the behavior of the
application. In order to fine-tune the application, some knowledge
is required.
Pluses: it gives you the possibility to share and download
files across P2P networks, it is free with no adds, it doesn't
have 3rd party software within the install package unlike other P2P
clients, it can be used as BT client.
Drawbacks / flaws: this is a beta version so it might have
some unexpected surprises, the free version has fewer functionality
than the professional version.
In conclusion: usually these kind of clients are associated
with illegal downloads. In fact, it usually isn't the program's
fault. It is all about what the users use it for. Same as, Mozilla
or Opera aren't responsible for the illegal Web pages that users
are visiting with their browsers. Therefore, what you download with
this client is your responsibility. There is a Professional version
of this program with more features. Check the producer's Web site
in order to get more details about this.
