If users wanted to up their download speeds and search results as well as receiving access to tech support, they could opt into LimeWire Pro for a yearly fee of $21.95. Once they opened the software, users could simply search for any file they wanted to download to their computer. Lastly, you would give LimeWire permission to bypass any firewall software. After completing the installation, users would have to select which local folders (on their computers) should contain LimeWire files. Then, you would go on and open the file that launches the Installer Wizard. In order to use LimeWire, users had to first download the software via its website or any other third-party website (such as CNET). Users could then download and upload a variety of file formats, including MP3 (for music), AVI/MPEG (video), JPG (images), and more. LimeWire was based on Gnutella, which is a network protocol that allows individual machines to interact with each other. In March 2022, Austrian entrepreneurs and brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr acquired LimeWire's naming rights to relaunch the platform as a "mainstream-ready, digital collectibles marketplace for art and entertainment, initially focusing on music.The software could be downloaded and used on devices that had Windows, macOS, Solaris, and Linux installed.
You can watch the trailer for the new Limewire in the video linked above from Soulja Boy's Instagram page.Įarlier this year, LimeWire announced its plans to relaunch as a music-oriented NFT (non-fungible token) marketplace, allowing users to "explore, collect and trade unique digital collectibles." Last week, Soulja Boy plugged the company's comeback by sharing their latest commercial on social media. Limewire is attempting to rebrand itself as an NFT platform, and it's using Soulja Boy's social media clout to help spread the word. Now it seems like the two are set to join forces yet again with their roles reversed. The rapper used the platform to launch himself into a bonafide Hip hop career off the back of his viral hit Crank That. The only person that walked away from the wreckage of the Limewire era for the better was Soulja Boy. A post shared by Soulja Boy (Big Draco) the 2010s, Limewire went belly up.
