It was one of the most popular clients in the early 2000s. It also had several clones, like FrostWire. I heard about Limewire in like 9th grade and it was my introduction to torrenting. My family still had dial up internet, so I would queue up several songs to download over night while no one was using the phone.
I only ever used uTorrent back when I started torrenting and years later I moved on to qbittorrent, which I still use today.
It may be that I remember associating Limewire specifically with music. I know it was just a torrent client, but as a highschooler I only knew it as a way to get free music. I think a lot of people in my school had the same impression.
Once I was more tech savvy I also went the uTorrent, qbittorrent route. That's what I use in my Jellyfin setup today.
