Peer-to-peer technology has received a lot of bad press over the last few years and, in all honesty, Limewire was one of the primary tools for obtaining technology from other users that was less than legitimate. However, there's no reason why we can't make better use of P2P and the industry has realised that there's no reason why P2P couldn't be used by business users or friends to supply and share their own legitimate files. For example, if you're working across a project, you can use P2P technology to provide files to authorised users.

Limewire 5 Preview is the first beta release of the forthcoming major revision to the popular file-sharing software. This new version ships with a completely redesigned user-interface, as well as the facility to allow particular users to have access to your shared files and folders. Idea if you want to share your latest holiday photos and other legitimate files.
