Software you need: limewire

To install LimeWire you must first download the installer from the website. After downloading the program, follow the installation method associated with your computer's operating system:

Step 1 - The first step you will see after running the LimeWire installer is the language options dialogue. Choose the language you would like LimeWire to use, and click OK. Find out how much of your language has been translated.

Step 2 - You are introduced to the installer. Click Next.

Step 3 - Choose the location to install LimeWire program files. Note that this is not the location that the files from your LimeWire search results are download to, and you should never have to access the LimeWire program folder during normal use of LimeWire. The default location is probably best. Click Next.

Step 4 - After LimeWire copies the necessary files to the program folder, installs the Java Runtime Environment (if necessary), and checks see if a security program is blocking LimeWire, installation is complete. Click Finish to begin using LimeWire.

Step 5 - If this is your first time running LimeWire, you will be guided through setup to configure basic options. Files downloaded using LimeWire are deposited into the Save folder by default, and any files in the Shared folders are added to the LimeWire Library and shared on the Gnutella network. Learn more about Save and Shared folders at the bottom of this page.

Step 6 - Choose the network speed that best matches the type of connection you use to access the internet. Decide if you would like LimeWire to start automatically when you start your computer (a Lime icon will appear in the system tray). Use the content filter if you would like LimeWire to filter content based on whether or not the content owner has requested that the file not be shared on the network.

Step 7 - Choose the types of files that you want LimeWire to share. If files with these extensions are located in any of your Shared folders, they will be shared on the Gnutella network.
