I never used LimeWire I'm not old enough for that, what is it that people remember so fondly about it anyway? Was there something that made it special or is it just another torrent client?

I think LimeWire might have been the first one where you could have concurrent connections and restart an interrupted download. Before that was Napster, where if you lost Internet, the whole download was wasted. On dial up, that could be hours of wasted time
