LimeWire X is a free P2P file-sharing program that uses the Java platform to locate and share all kinds of files over the Internet. It is one of the few solutions of its kind for the Mac, and it is 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.

“LimeWire is the world's most popular peer-to-peer file-sharing program,” say the people in charge with developing the program. “With over 70 million unique monthly users, the software is downloaded hundreds of thousands of times every day and boasts millions of active users at any given moment. Limewire uses the BitTorrent protocol and the Gnutella network to provide an unparalleled searches and download speed to the user,” Lime Wire LLC explains. As always, LimeWire takes the security of its users very seriously and will never bundle spyware, adware, or viruses. Thank you for choosing LimeWire!” goes the message addressing all users of the platform.

Updated again this week, LimeWire X - the Mac version of the program, delivers an improved download tray thanks to user feedback, Advanced Filters, and a re-written BitTorrent support to use libtorrent. The software is available in multiple languages, in both free and paid versions. The Basic version is free, while LimeWire Pro can be acquired for $21.95, which also includes personalized technical support and typical, high-end-version stuff.
