Frequently asked questions
What is LimeWire?
LimeWire is a file sharing platform. You drop a file in, you get a link, you send the link — no software to install and no account needed to start. Alongside sharing it runs AI tools for images, video and documents. It is the same name as the peer-to-peer client of the 2000s and the same idea — moving files between people — rebuilt as a service that runs in a browser.
Is LimeWire still around?
Yes. LimeWire is live and in daily use: 131 million files have been shared through it and 7.6 petabytes uploaded. The original peer-to-peer network shut down in 2010; the name came back in 2022 as the file sharing and AI platform you are looking at now.
Is LimeWire safe to use?
Files are encrypted before they leave your device and stay encrypted in storage. If you share without an account, the key stays on your device and is carried in the link itself — so nobody, including us, can open the file without the link you sent. There is nothing to install, so there is no installer to pick up anything on the way.
Do I need an account to share a file?
No. Without an account you can send up to 4 GB at a time and the link stays live for 3 days. A free account raises daily limits and gives you 40 GB of storage; paid plans go up to 500 GB per transfer with no expiry date on the link.
How large a file can I send?
Up to 4 GB per transfer without an account or on the free plan, 250 GB on Pro and 500 GB on Pro+. There is no file type restriction — video, archives, design files and raw footage all go through the same way.
How long do my files stay online?
Three days on the free plan and for anonymous uploads, counted from the moment the upload finishes. On Pro and Pro+ links do not expire on their own, and you can set an expiry date yourself when you want one.
Is LimeWire free?
Yes, sharing files is free and stays free. Paid plans exist for people who need bigger transfers, more storage, longer-lived links and more AI credits — the full breakdown is on the pricing page.
What happened to the original LimeWire?
A US court ordered the file-sharing features switched off on 26 October 2010, after a lawsuit brought by thirteen record companies in 2006. Lime Wire LLC settled in 2011 and no longer operates the brand: the LimeWire name was acquired in 2022 by a different company, which rebuilt the product from scratch as a web service. Nothing of the original peer-to-peer network was carried over.
