LimeWire Open Research, Digital Preservation & AI Lab (2000–2026)

LimeWire Open Research Hub: Empirical Datasets, ISO 19005 Preservation Monographs & Zero-Install Browser Laboratories

Welcome to the official academic research and Open Educational Resources (OER) division of LimeWire. Spanning 26 years of network and file-transfer history—from Gnutella 0.4 in 2000 and the $72 Trillion Copyright Lawsuit to 131 Million shared files, 7.6 Petabytes uploaded, 36+ zero-install browser utilities, and the LimeWire MCP Server for AI Agents—this repository provides peer-review-ready empirical datasets (CSV, JSONL, TSV), 18 PDF 1.4 monographs, and 8 university laboratory courses.
