Really Happy to Discover LimeWire

After issues with my phone and transferring files with the cable. My USB-C connection isn't working any more. LimeWire is the best way for me to transfer files wirelessly...really helped me out of a spot.

Pros:

Love LimeWire... My phone had issues and I'm in a country where we have to get over a "firewall". I needed a quick and easy way to transfer files from my computer to my phone wirelessly. LimeWire works quietly in the background with files transfers while I can work on my phone. Also allows me to share files with clients easily too...was using WeTranfer for this in the past. Now I think it'll be LimeWire all the way.

Cons:

Not too much...I just needed a few minutes to figure how best to use it. It's mostly pretty intuitive.

Reasons for switching to LimeWire

Speed and ease of use mostly..,always looking to see what else is out there and if it's better.

Effortless fitness-video sharing with friends

I’ve been using LimeWire for about a month to share fitness videos with a close group of friends. We just send a LimeWire link and call it a day. If you regularly send large media files to a small circle, LimeWire Pro’s generous limits and clean UI are a solid upgrade—just expect the occasional slow upload during peak hours.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Huge per-file limit means I can upload full-HD workout videos without compressing; friends just click a link. Drag-and-drop UI is dead simple, and uploads resume if my connection drops.

Cons:

No native mobile app yet, so I still use the browser on my phone. Peak-hour uploads slow down a bit.

Reasons for switching to LimeWire

I switched from WeTransfer because its free tier’s 3 GB per-file limit and 3-day expiry kept forcing me to compress or re-upload my 5-10 GB fitness-training videos. LimeWire gives me a far larger file-size ceiling, links that don’t disappear after a few days, resumable uploads, and end-to-end encryption—so sharing high-quality workout footage with friends is faster, more private, and way less hassle.

limited since I don't really understand why I can't generate images with AI. I have looked at Youtube videos to learn how to use the program but nothing available is up to date enough to help

Pros:

I wanted to create AI images which is why I looked into the product. What I was looking for was BlueWillow AI which looked like how I wanted to use the program

Cons:

I can find what I want to do on the site. I want to generate images from text but I don't understand how to access that or even if that is a feature since Limewire took over BlueWillow AI

Pros:

LimeWire is a fantastic tool for secure and easy file sharing. The interface is intuitive, and wireless transfers are a breeze, especially for large files up to 200GB. The AI tools, like image generation, are a great bonus for creative projects.

Cons:

My only gripe is the subscription cost can feel a bit steep, but the free plan is solid for basic needs. Highly recommend for professionals needing reliable file transfers!

Reasons for choosing LimeWire

I found LimeWire just easier to use and I did'nt have to think about it.

Reasons for switching to LimeWire

I simply wanted to xfer files. Cloudinary has limited file size. which made it incovenient for both sending and receiving.

LimeWire beating the competition.

This is really great and remarkably easy to use; I've found it helpful that I have it bookmarked in my browser for use, which ultimately makes the entire process quite fast and easy to complete whenever I need to.

Functionality

Pros:

As a creative business owner, I've found LimeWire superior to WeTransfer, which has become less desirable due to its increasing popularity and limiting fetures. LimeWire's free tools simply outperform the competition.

Cons:

When uploading a folder, the contents are seperatly uploaded instead of the folder itself, which can be confusing when it has a lot of contens. ONE thing i would add is that an app would be a fantastic addition.

Reasons for switching to LimeWire

The inherent reason for my switch is the increasingly limited free features of WeTransfer.

Is LimeWire for you ?

I am very pleased with my experience trying LimeWire. It's my go to solution for "share and forget" projects with a short life span.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

LimeWire is straightforward to setup. It does what it claims, make it possible to share large files instantly and it deletes it automatically later.

Cons:

LimeWire is limited to 4 GB in its free version, which by today's standard is low. In comparison, Google is offering 15GB. In addition, Limewire (in its free version) will delete your files after a week which is not the case for Google.

Reasons for switching to LimeWire

I don't trust Google anonymity. Also, Google asks you to create an account to use the service.

Pros:

I like how simple yet powerful it is. Even the free version gives a lot without compromising on anything. I use it daily for my business. What’s great is that person can view each file or even download individual files as well without downloading the whole thing.

Cons:

The files only last for 7 days and they don’t have an app yet. I think if their we’re an app I could do background uploads but other than that it’s great
