īeing free software, LimeWire has spawned several forks, including LionShare, an experimental software development project at Penn State University, and Acquisition, a Mac OS X–based Gnutella client with a proprietary interface. With the removal of all bundled software in LimeWire 3.9.4 (released on April 20 2004), these objections were addressed. Uninstallation of LimeWire would not remove LimeShop. Among other things, LimeShop monitored online purchases in order to redirect sales commissions to Lime Wire LLC. Prior to April 2004, the free version of LimeWire was distributed with a bundled program called LimeShop (a variant of TopMoxie), which was considered by computer security experts to be spyware. This is accomplished by facilitating direct connection with up to 10 hosts of an identical searched file at any one time, whereas the free version is limited to a maximum of 8 hosts. The company claims the paid version provides faster downloads and 66% better search results. Lime Wire LLC, the New York City based developer of LimeWire, distributes two versions of the program a basic version for free, and an enhanced version, LimeWire PRO, sold for a fee of US$21.95, with 6 months of updates or 1 year of updates for $34.95. In practice bogus search results are more problematic.

A 'vulnerability' in SHA-1 suggests that it may, at some future time, be possible to crack SHA-1, which would allow files to be spoofed (mis-described) on the network. Researchers have identified theoretical weaknesses in the SHA-1 algorithm. Like all Gnutella clients, LimeWire uses SHA-1 and tiger tree hash cryptographic hash functions to ensure that downloaded data is uncompromised.Magnet links use SHA-1 searches, which can also be used to find more sources for a download. LimeWire does not forward SHA-1 searches, which find exact copies of files.

This limitation also means that the network will return more results than necessary. This prohibits searches for specific files.

LimeWire limits queries to 3 - 30 characters.

As such, when LimeWire is running and configured to allow it, any files shared will be detectable on the local network by DAAP-enabled devices (e.g., iTunes). LimeWire offers the sharing of its library through Digital Audio Access Protocol. From version 4.8 onwards, LimeWire works as a UPnP Internet Gateway Device controller insofar that it can automatically set up packet-forwarding rules with UPnP-capable routers.

Support for Mac OS 9 and other previous versions was dropped with the release of LimeWire 4.0.10. Installers are provided for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Written in the Java programming language, LimeWire is able to run on any computer with Java Virtual Machine installed.
