LimeWire Pirate Edition is free, open source software based on the final beta version of the popular LimeWire filesharing application. After Lime Wire LLC stopped distributing its software in October 2010, a horde of piratical monkeys climbed aboard the abandoned ship, mended its sails, polished its canons and released it FREE to the community to help keep the Gnutella network alive.

LimeWire Pirate Edition is pure P2P software; it does not depend on any servers operated by Lime Wire LLC or other companies. It does not include any adware or spyware, and it cannot be remotely monitored or shut down.

I heard LimeWire got closed down which is sad because it's probably one of the last traditional P2P networks? Had you ever used the program P2P? I hadn't ever used it myself, but it's good to see the community rallying together to keep it alive like what happened with WinMX.

They might've shutdown LimeWire the company, but LimeWire is still alive thanks to it being open source. There's also alternative apps that connects to the Gnutella network. So all they really did was take out the corp. fish that was profiting from p2p and its users moved to other Gnutella clients, other p2p apps/networks or are using the LimeWire Pirate Edition.

Yes Battye, I've tried LimeWire before. I couldn't find stuff I wanted to download at that time I tried it, I didn't care much for its GUI and that it uses java. I never really liked apps that use java. I ended up going back to WinMX and learned to pirate using other sources. The older BearShare is still kicking around too being a thorn in the back of the music industry like WinMX, OpenNap etc.

The LimeWire Pirate Edition website was shutdown.

The RIAA has claimed in court papers that the official LimeWire company has breached last month’s court injunction against it by somehow having something to do with LimeWire Pirate Edition. The RIAA says that the site, which linked to the rogue software, was created by a current or former LimeWire employee. This forced the company to move against the Pirate Edition website and have it shut down.

Yes, but according to Torrent Freak, the pirate edition software is still available from other sites.
