Limewire is a very popular peer to peer filesharing application. Users of the latest release will notice the radical redesign, bringing it aesthetically up to date.
Like Vuze before it, LimeWire appears to be encouraging legal downloads with the LimeWire Store. The library is so far a little limited compared to competitor download stores, but we expect this will expand.
Otherwise it's business as usual on LimeWire, but with a much simplified and cleaner interface. Because it's a new release, there are still some bugs, but the basic file sharing functions as well as ever. The new design makes scanning your search results much easier, and downloading files is totally intuitive.
The built-in player is still unintrusive and useful for checking audio and video files, but no more. LimeWire goes out of its way to check you are aware of the legal implications of illegal filesharing, on installation you have to agree not to infringe copyright, and if you download a file for which LimeWire can't find a license you will be warned and can stop or continue at your discretion.
The Friends function has been much improved. You can sign in with your Gmail, Jabber or LiveJournal accounts, and share files between any of your friends there who are also on LimeWire. This is much easier than tapping out IP addresses, and if enough of your friends use LimeWire, it could become great community sharing tool.
LimeWire searches remain within the P2P network, but you can open torrent files with it, and it functions very well as a torrent download client. This is not the most advertised feature of LimeWire, which may a way of keeping legal challenges at bay, but it's a shame that you can't search for torrents within the program.
The official release of LimeWire 5.0 makes for a much improved P2P experience.

I have been using Limewire for some time now. To me it is a shame that they are trying to shut this down. If people want to copy music, it does not need to be from Limewire only. Apart from the fact that there are another hundred sights that do the same thing, these agencies need to wake up and realize that this is just a load of bull****. Have they stopped to wonder that maybe the fact why they do not sell as much records is because today they just look for commercial music that is just a load of head banging music, and most of the time to sell it they need to have a load of half naked girls on them, or they will not hit the scene. Maybe these agencies that are trying to shut you down, should look a bit at the days when the sales were good, and compare the type of music. Maybe if they start searching again, and signing up some good music people, sales will pick up again. Why can we not have good clean music like we had before, where people used to come out on stage in a full dress and man wore a suit or at least decntly dressed? Tell these people to stop looking for these quick schemes of making money, with a star that only lasts a couple of months. I am sure that if they do this, they can leave Limewire alone as there business will pick up again, and they will not feel the slight negative impact. After all, Limewire does them a favour as this helps also as advertising, and not just copying music. If this injuction goes through they might just as well turn too bearshare, e-donkey, etc., etc., not to mention also You Tube.
