It is a bad idea to download anything using limewire in general. Too many people attempting to spread adware, spyware, and viruses through the service.
The file extension is no indicator of it's safety! Just because it is a .zip or .jpg does not mean it really is a zip file or an image.

Limewire is a bad idea. You don't know what youre getting tell you get it and open/ unzip it. Could be good, could be crap.
Your best bet for software is the bit torrent network, unfortunately what youre talking about is illegal so I can't really be teaching you, but then again, you got google, you don't need me. On the mac, try a program called azureus and search for torrent trackers on google. I think theres azureus for pc, but that's not my area.
The way to make sure to know what youre getting with torrents is to get it from a tracker that has a comments system. Check the comments to figure out if youre getting what you want.

Nasim... no Limewire isn't unlawful. different archives on it are copyrighted, besides the undeniable fact that you are able to not be sued for having Limewire on your pc. you'll maximum useful get viruses in case you download archives that contain them. no longer at the same time as the software is basically walking.
