LimeWire™ is a software package which enables individuals to search for and share computer files with anyone on the Internet. A product of Lime Wire, LLC, LimeWire™ is compatible with the Gnutella file-sharing protocol and can connect with anyone else running Gnutella-compatible software. At startup, the LimeWire program will connect to the LimeWire Gateway, a specialized intelligent Gnutella router, in order to maximize the user's viewable network space. Limewire is written in Java, and will run on any machine with an internet connection and the ability to run Java version 1.1.8.

The current version of LimeWire™ brings unprecedented functionality and ease of use to the Gnutella network. In addition, it does more than any other software to improve and maintain the health of the Gnutella Network as a whole:
