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?

Yeah I'm with you, hell I even remember being on WinMX before that and even that having multiple seeds?
