P2P, not torrent. Torrent is P2P but not all P2P is torrenting.

It was simply peer to peer file sharing rather than torrenting. Torrenting allows you to collect different parts of the file from different people. Lime Wire just depending on a stable connection between you and the host machine.

It was also full of fake shit and viruses. I remember spending hours getting rid of “Gator” a couple of times as a stupid college student.

I swear I remember limewire having the equivalent of seeds and files being downloaded from multiple places at the same time.

Mandela effect?

Limewire was around before Brahm Cohen created Bit Torrent.

Yeah it was so good that every download was a gamble if you were getting the song you wanted or uncensored war footage and cp

Was it torrenting or just P2P file sharing? Also you might have rose colored glasses about how good it was.
