LimeWire Alternatives
LimeWire
When you hear about LimeWire, what you think of it depends immediately upon how long you've been using the Internet and for what purpose. Memories of access to a world of incredible music accessible easier than ever before, or memories of articles criticizing its spread of pirated content access.
Regardless, LimeWire has been discontinued since October of 2010. In its wake, there are many modern peer-to-peer file sharing alternatives, many of which are also open source. Also unlike LimeWire, some of these newer peer-to-peer file sharing apps are also available on your Android phone or tablet via the Google Play Store.
