LimeWire X is a free P2P file-sharing program that uses the Java platform to locate files, as well as share files. It is one of the few solutions of its kind for the Mac, and it’s compatible with all major platforms. The program’s open source code was developed (in part) by a devoted programmer community. The code is freely available to the public.
