Limewire is a very popular peer to peer client which allows users to share files through a file sharing network called Gnutella. The application is maintained up by the Java software Platform. Audio and video files are a lot more difficult to send or share than document files and images. However, with the use of this file sharing program, you can easily get the files you need from the Internet.

The Limewire client utilizes the file sharing capabilities provided by the Gnutella network. Developed by Justin Frankel and Tom Pepper of Nullsoft, it is considered the most popular network that offers file sharing capabilities for the online community. This network became the stage of the open source community today.

Aside from Limewire, Gnutella also have many other clients that make use of the network as their own file sharing stage. Some of these clients are Bearshare, GnucDNA, giFT and Frostwire. These programs are all developed using Limewire as their basis and foundation for features and capabilities.

Limewire – and any of its many ‘children’ – will not be able to work properly without the Gnutella network. It wouldn’t even be capable of sharing the files without a platform to support it. Moreover, Gnutella and Limewire’s relationship is important for the file sharing method to work at its best.
