Usage
When it comes to downloading programs such as
games, images, documents, videos, MP3 and other
audio files you need to look no farther than
LimeWire. The creators of this software have given
us a unique way to get what we want or need in one
P2P or Peer-to-Peer program. It uses a Java
Platform to run, and Gnutella a file sharing
network to scan your computer for downloadable
files. You can find files shared through LimeWire
in the Digital Audio Access Protocol, which is
designed to keep track of media shared across the
Network.
Cons
There are a few cons to LimeWire, such as if you
want even faster downloads you need to purchase
LimeWire Pro. You will also get a few warnings
about there being a virus or Trojan, however you
this warning is displayed on your screen before
your download will begin. However, the free
version will tell you before you begin the
download. You may also see someone downloading
files from your pc. When it comes to this do not
worry though, it is very common with P2P programs.
You can see what they are downloading and stop it
if you want to.
Pros
The pros to LimeWire are as vast as its
resources. You can download and try out programs
that would normally cost you a lot of money. You
can also download an entire CD, and burn it to
disk. Some of the other Peer-to-Peer programs do
not have this feature even though they advertise
it. During the startup of the program, it has a
Tips and Tricks screen that popup. These help you
use LimeWire even more efficiently. A huge pro is
the download time and availability of finding and
installing LimeWire itself. You do not have to be
a computer expert just an internet surfer.
It is designed to run on Microsoft Windows, Mac
OS X, and RPM or Red Hat Package Manager.
