Pros

So far the graphic interface. It keeps the style of the original peer to peer app. But it is also interesting the approach to AI services.

Cons

That you have to pay for credits to use the AI tools

I submitted a picture of a man with his hands in front of his face and I asked that the resulting picture should be of the man with bloody hands. Blood appeared everywhere, on his face, but barely on his hands. It was very frustrating, despite numerous attempts at re-wording the prompt.

Pros

The possibility of creating new pictures from written prompts.

Cons

The impossibility of achieving the desired results.

My overall experience with LimeWire has been decent as far as cloud storage goes, it's very simple and decently priced so I will continue to use it.

Pros

What I liked most about LimeWire is the decent pricing-per-GB and that they use AI to assist with the naming, tagging and overall editing of files.

Cons

Still in very early stages and some features are not available yet such as downloadable clients. In a way I am disappointed that LimeWire decided to move away from P2P, and are also advertising their own cryptocurrency, but it is nice to see it back decades later using a more useful service.

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive

Reasons for Switching to LimeWire

The pricing of LimeWire was a lot more acceptable compared to Google Drive.

I turned to LimeWire because other platforms had started charging quite high amounts for occasional users like me. I was very pleasantly surprised, as it was super easy to use, and all the files I sent have been safely received.

Pros

It is very easy to use – you just drag and drop and there are multiple ways to send a link.

Cons

Nothing, it's great. I found it confusing for a while and I kept adding to existing files I'd sent, but when I realized my mistake (there's a big DONE button) it was fine.

My overall experience with LineWire was awesome. After searching for days trying to find a filesharing platform that was easy and affordable (free) to try. LimeWire provided me with everything I needed. In fact I will be uploading another file to share today!

Pros

It was easy to use and my files shared perfectly

Cons

The files expired in 7 days on the free version. I would really like to see 14 or even 30.

Reliable, secure, easy to access for collaborators and clients, definitely an extremely useful service for our processes and workflow.

Pros

It is a platform that stands out above others due to its stability, the duration of the files on the server is much longer, the storage capacity is a great differentiator and the usability is very friendly for users who are not used to using this type of services.

Cons

The switch from FileTransfer to LimeWire was disconcerting at first but we are now completely familiar with the brand.

Limewire: It's not the music-sharing platform that we all started with

Full disclosure, I have been familiar with LimeWire since back in the early 2000's and I came across it recently as I have been starting my journey into leveraging Generative A.I. and I have to say that I am completely blown away with how far it has come. I've been using generative A.I. art generators for a few months and have made significant progress learning about LLMs (Large Language Models), prompts, datasets, and data manipulation using python and have tested multiple platforms and A.I.. However, LimeWire has one of the most fully featured toolsets that I have come across. The A.I. image generator is one of the easiest to utilize and the images tend to come out very well with the default Stable Diffusion model, it typically also follows the prompts to a T and I've been very pleased with the results. However, personally for me it's the Blue Willow model image generator that takes my breath away each time I use it. The images have always come out with a pristine shiny gloss that I adore. However, that's not all. I also have been learning about NFT's and Blockchain and the road hasn't always been the easiest to grasp for me. However, after generating an new image LimeWire gives you to option to mint your art as an NFT and upload it to either the Binance or Polygon blockchain and creates an Opensea account to display your NFT collection. The ease of this process as allowed to fill the the gaps of knowledge when it comes to understand all of the 'new age' technical jargon that I was once found myself stuck at. Basically LimeWire has turned me into my own A.I. art studio as I have always dreamed of becoming, and that's only the tip of the iceberg as LimeWire comes with a lot of other features that I haven't had a chance to try yet. One of the features that I am looking forward to using is the ability to generate music from your art collections. Yes, you heard me right, there is a music generator that analyzes your art and then creates a snippet of music from your creations. I plan to make use of this feature very soon as I upgrade my account to make use of all of the tools and knowledge that it comes with. I'm am in no way a 'shill' for any product or company but sometimes you really have to tip your hat when you come across something that changes your perception of how something is done. I'll be actually writing again soon as I delve more into LimeWire and all of it different features and toolsets.

Pros

All of the different Generative A.I. features that the new LimeWire comes with such as Text-to-Image, Text-to-Music, Image-to-Music and so one.

Cons

You have to have a functional understanding of Generative A.I. as a foundation to really start making use of the different features on a competent level.

I absolutely loved Limewire leading up to the streaming era. I always found some file that would download and easily be transferred to any other library or hard copy desired.

Pros

LimeWire has an easy interface and was my main software to download and listen to my preferred songs or remix of song after a quick download. when it comes to music, I am a freak for EDM and bass music , limewire had everything and a lot of choices. Building my music library started with LimeWire and it brings back so many good memories and allowed me to make playlists that tailored every moment and night out. I always made sure my CD briefcase was packed with all my LimeWire music.

Cons

The download speeds were very random and at times , a file after downloading , would be incorrect or different from what I was looking for.

I've used LimeWire for quickly sharing files with friends, generating images, and upscaling images. I find that it makes it easy to edit images on the fly and convert them to fit my requirements whenever I need.

Pros

It makes it easy to share files, and provides an all-in-one place for AI file manipulation.

Cons

It was enjoyable for me to experience the platform by making it easy and fun to download music, videos, and software I need. Also, my first impressions on digital media creation was overwhelmingly positive when compared to other expensive similar playforms that I previously used.

Pros

Access to a vast library of free movies, music and software. Also image editing and manipulation features are very user-friendly, very functuonal and the results are very fun to experience.

Cons

Since it is on it's early phases of adoption, the library is not very vast compared to other known file sharing applications but since it is growing very fast, soon this won't be a problem anymore.

The UI could be more straightforward, but once you get the hang of it the tools on offer are powerful. It's also a huge incentive to create when there 70% of the LMWR crypto each image generates goes to the creator. Other AI software tools fall way behind in this respect and it would be good to see this feature being adopted across the industry, though it seems unlikely. This would go further to strengthen the limewire brand.

Pros

The new AI tools are really good value, very useful for creatives. Also, the fact each generation has the potential to gain the user their LMWR crypto is a huge sell. It's a great idea that gives back to users and subscribers, it's a shame no other AI software application offers this feature.

Cons

It doesn't seem like you can trial the AI tools for free before committing to purchase some of their cryptocurrency in order to do that.

My overall experience was good. One person I was sending to overseas felt like the connection was sluggish, but maybe it was him, because it was fast for me. I look forward to having it as another tool in the toolbox.

Pros

It appears very flexible and lets you upload multiple files into multiple collections and then share them.

Cons

With the breadth of functionlaity it offers, it took a little more time to familiarize myself with the GUI and the set up compared to other "sending services" which are maybe slightly more straight-forward since they are also more limited.
