Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that the Limewire you knew is no longer. From Wikipedia:

Name reuse by unrelated companies
In 2022, Austrian brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr bought LimeWire's intellectual property and turned it into an NFT service.
LimeWire's name was revived in 2022 for an unrelated music-based NFT platform, an action with which Gorton expressed displeasure.

Please don't use no crypto bro NFT infused trash. Go watch the segment from Archive.org.
Seed the torrent if you wanna spread the word.

It's infinitely safer than this sketchy ass company.
