However, sometimes you find the LimeWire files cannot be transferred to your iPhone. Unlike direct file downloads, there’s no hacking or subpoenas required to peek at the IPs.Yeah, with LimeWire, you can get free movies, songs, videos easily instead of buying video from iTunes or other online music or movies store.
