Some of the best applications have competed with Limewire, and one of the biggest obstacles to people joining this client was the addition of third party software. Now, the old adware version has been eliminated and the anticipation of a flood of new users is beginning to swell as many new people will be taking a closer look at this program.

To explain the benefits of this revised edition, let take a look at the release notes from limewire:

• Ease of use - just install, run, and search.
  
• Ability to search by artist, title, genre, or other metainformation
  
• Elegant multiple search tabbed interface
  
• "Swarm" downloads from multiple hosts help you get files faster
  
• iTunes integration for Mac users
  
  
• Unique "ultrapeer" technology reduces bandwidth requirements for most users
  
• Integrated chat
  
• Browse host feature--even works through firewalls
  
• Added Bitzi metadata lookup
  
• International versions: Now available in many new languages.
  
• Connects to the network using GWebCache, a distributed connection system
  
• Automatic local network searches for lightning-fast downloads. If you're on a corporate or university network, download files from other users on the same network almost instantaneously!
  
• Support for MAGNET links that allow you to click on web page links that access Gnutella.
  

Simply put, now with a lot of the headaches from preceeding versions gone, this version is something of a breakthrough. Cheers to Limewire!

And a special thanks to Sharedholder for bringing this all to our attention!
