About LimeWire:
LimeWire is a free and open source peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network. It is released under the GNU General Public License. The program allows users to share files using the Gnutella peer-to-peer protocol. It 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 is written in Java and hence runs on any computer with the Java virtual machine installed. To facilitate installation for casual users, the developers release installation packages for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and for Linux, in RPM format.
Classic Mac OS (Mac OS 9 and before) support has been dropped with LimeWire 4.0.10.
