LimeWire is a P2P (Peer-2-Peer) filesharing program working on the GNUtella network and writtin in Java, with a free version and in opensource. Mostly music and movies are transfered over Limewire.
----
LimeWire is thinking of adding a filter into their program soon that will eliminate all files that have no lisense attached, so instead of LimeWire go with the clone of it called FrostWire
http://www.frostwire.com/
FrostWire is based on LimeWire sourcecode(in other words it's almost the exact same thing) but it isn't laced with advertising search terms returns and isn't bundled with any software like newer versions of LimeWire.
Why be like the rest and use limewire when you can go for FrostWire?
BUT!
remember all P2P filesharing programs pose a huge risk to your security, since they are unregulated alot of spyware and trojan downloads find there way on, so watch your downloads and have some decent security.

Limewire is a peer to peer filesharing software.
You can download lotsa files after you went to limewire.com and installed the program.
But if you arent familiar with what you are doing there is the risk to download infected software with limewire, so always have the files virus checked.
Some files (like most music) are illegal copies, and if you offer other people the stuff you downloaded you might get into trouble with the law...so use it wisely!

Limewire is a peer-to-peer program allowing you to download files that other people have on their computer and are willing to share it. Basically they upload the data and you download it. All you need to do is search for the content you want, and chances are someone will have it. Then all you have to do is double click on it and wait for the download to finish.
The limewire software is very safe as I have had no problems with it (no viruses, malware, etc.) You can get it for free at www.limewire.com.

Limewire is a free file sharing program that is mostly used to download music and video. Basicly, it's like an entire group of computers sharing songs and movies for each other to download. However, you must be careful, not everyone out there is interested in sharing just videos and music. When it comes to file sharing there is a high risk of viruses, so keep scanning your computer!

limewire is a file sharing source where you can download music, video, and other files. its free but it is illegal so if you do get caught you can be sued. the risks are slim but the penalty is huge. if you want it go to limewire. com or you can google it and download it from the website. just remember: try not to share the files you download it increases the risk of being compromised

For the free version of Limewire go here - http://www.limewire.com/english/content/downloadfree.shtml
Limewire lets you search for almost anything, movies, music, programs, ring tones etc etc.
Once you locate a file you want It connects you to that persons computer & you can download from them.
Be warned that if that person sends you a virus that is out of Limewire's control. If you don't have anti virus software then get some.
Download AVG anti Virus free here –

With those three programs your computer will be pretty secure from viruses, ad ware, spyware & malware.
