## Reviews

### "Limewire is the new king of file sharing\!" — 5.0/5

> **Daniel** | *May 29, 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The interface, speed of upload, ability to share a link before the files have finished uploaded, the dashboard, higher file l up to 200GB and 4TB of storage along with all the AI tools make LimeWire a much better Alternative to WeTransfer or other competitors\! It also has a crypto token called LMWR
> 
> **Cons**: So far I have yet to find something I dislike. SOLID platform\! 
Only thing I can think of is it would be cool to see a map of the world and where the downloads were made from.
> 
> The Limewire nostalgia is real and it's super cool to be using this platform from my teenage years again\! Who remembers downloading music from back in the day?\! 
the platform is solid, provides fast upload \& download speeds and tons of bandwidth for all my professional needs. I am constantly having to send large files of 10's of gigs to hundreds of gigabytes to my clients and this will be my new tool moving forward.

### "Best File Share and Download" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *May 17, 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My business as a photographer requires that I transfer gigabytes of files to client and I use LimeWire to fulfill that need. There are several aspects of this site that make this very easy to do.

Uploads: I like the ease of use and the user interface.  The drag and drop works well and if you segment your files into well named sub-folders, your upload gets a meaningful title for your clients. I like the dynamic upload status so you are aware of where you are in the upload. Uploading is a snap with the drag and drop interface.

Functionally for my clients, I like the gallery view that is presented where they can look at the gallery as a whole or individually in sequence.  

Downloads: This also applies to the downloads which they can do individually or as a whole folder. It's handy to be able to download a single file or all at once and view the entire gallery singly or all at once.  

Overall, LimeWire is simple to use and does the job.  What more could you want.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't been able to find an area that shows your current status with regards to used file space.  Also, using some of the tools (Image to vector, convert to pdf, upscale image) comes at a price but that is not a concern for me as my main use is file transfer.
> 
> My experience thus far has been excellent.  It does what it says with ease and it provides a professional interface for my clients.

### "Limewire synonym of Trust" — 5.0/5

> **Adnan** | *April 26, 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast speed downloads with even big files. Able to sign up with new account or existing Google account, very friendly
> 
> **Cons**: Limit of downloads in month time. Can't open two different sign in windows simultaneously on same laptop
> 
> I am very much satisfied with limewire. I am knowing this name since my final college days, when I used to download songs from this software. It was a blessing for us in those days to get the song free from any software. Limewire was the name of trust since those days when set used to download songs on laptop on a average of 45 minutes for one song. 😊.
After so many days limewire revived my those memories, now area transferring those stories of trust and stories of faith to our children. Thank you lime wire for this incredible journey

### "Limewire Giving back" — 5.0/5

> **Brandon** | *December 17, 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have to say after years of being on and off limewire, seeing them from the beginning, the greatest thing they have done is in terms of giving the creator creative rights (surprising concept) of the content they create using their AI generators. This is something almost noone else has taken part in doing. Even grammarly snatches rights for anything you put in it, thinking youre just using an awesome essay editor...thank you limewire for giving the power back to the artists
> 
> **Cons**: Not much to say here. I think the company should almost gear totally toward content creation though and working with artists.
> 
> Overall i cant say much bad. I havent used it a hell of a lot lately but i plan to

### "Limewire's got what you need" — 5.0/5

> **Fraser** | *May 26, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the variety of tools Limewire offers as well as the quality of the rendered work. It makes it so easy to incorporate all things AI into my workflow.
> 
> **Cons**: Haven't really found anything I don't like about it yet - not anything I would call a "con". If I had to choose one, I sometimes get lost in the UI but I am confident I'll get used to it.. That's probably more a ME problem than a Limewire problem.
> 
> So far my experience with Limewire has been exceptional. Both interesting and productive. It has handled everything I have thrown at it incredibly well.
