Not to be pedantic but Limewire wasn't released in the 90's, 1999 on the title is at least close to a good date but 1990 is way to early for programs like Limewire, that's basically universities and military only internet times.

Took a quick look at the wiki and have to admit that this is hilarious:

Both a zero-cost version and a purchasable "enhanced" version called LimeWire Pro were available; however, LimeWire Pro could be acquired for free through the standard LimeWire software, where users distributed it without authorization.

That's exactly how I got Limewire Pro. I don't know anyone who paid for it or WinRAR.
